What Do You Know?
A couple of years back, Maxine and I were trying to come up with a format for presentations that was fun, as unintimidating as possible particularly for new speakers, and offered something for everyone in the audience, be they a designer, developer, Interaction Designer, IA, Product Manager, or even growth hacker![1]
Formats like pecha kucha and Ignite were a little restrictive, and lend themselves to a specific kind of slide driven presentation.
Somehow we came up with What Do You Know. Each speaker has 5 minutes (and we mean 5, Maxine is a mean timekeeper) to tell the audience about something they know. It might be functional JavaScript, it might be bezier curves, it might be designing wearable devices, it might be guerrilla user testing. But it will be Web related (well, most of the time), and there are even sometimes mystery guests, like the Oatmeal (my wife still hasn’t quite forgiven me for not telling her he was speaking) or whoever else we can get our hands on.
Oh, and there’s a drink courtesy of our fine friends Silverstripe.
And best of all, you get the chance to share what you know. Quite a few of the speakers who grace the Web Directions stage first spoke in public at What do You Know. And don’t worry, it’s a very welcoming audience, plus as MC I make sure they stay that way!
So,what are you waiting for? Drop us a line, and let us know you’re interested. We’d love to have you!
