Global R-Ladies ⚡️⚡️Talks pt.1

August 20, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

The COVID-19 pandemic has separated many of us from our loved ones but has also brought us closer together. It is because of this and the understanding that many womxn and underrepresented may be hindered from giving a talk that we want to propose OUR FIRST ROUND OF LIGHTENING TALKS!
We are completely overwhelmed and grateful for the amount of interest we have received from the GLOBAL R-Ladies community that we are certain that this will just be one of many 😉.

Format:
12:05 – 12:15 – R-Ladies MIA Intro & Announcements
12:15 – 12:30 – Speaker 1
12:30 – 12:35 – Speaker 1 Q&A
12:35 – 12:55 – Speaker 2
12:55 – 1:00 – Speaker 2 Q&A

This is a great chance for several of us who don’t normally have the opportunity to present, who would like more public speaking practice, or just are excited to share so, we kindly ask that you please be respectful and stay mindful of the effort of our speakers, who have courageously volunteered to speak 🙂

This months fantastic ladies will be speaking on topics that they are excited to share with you!
