On Speaking… and not speaking

So as I mentioned in a previous post, I’m working to expand my speaking footprint this year beyond Utah.  This started out pretty well with a three session gig at Boise Code Camp which was a blast.  There is a great dev community up in Boise and I plan on going back next year.  I was able to attend Agile Games 2012 in Boston which was amazing.  Need to do a write up on that soon before everything leaks out of my brain :)   Again, more great people and I felt super enriched after the three days.

Unfortunately, around that time, my sessions were turned down for MADExpo and Chicago Code Camp.  I was pretty bummed about it, more than I thought I would be.  I plan to try again next year and market my sessions better.  Need to figure out how to get more buzz words into my titles :)

Happily I have been accepted to Agile Roots.  I’ll be running “Hands-on Group TDD with Randori” (title pending).

Additionally, I’ll be presenting at the Utah .Net User Group this Thursday (May 10, 2012) on “Linq (from the inside)”.

I’m still waiting on Portland Code Camp and Seattle Code Camp which I hope to still speak at.  I’ll likely go to Portland Code Camp either way as we’ll be in Portland to visit family.

I am hoping to attend SCNA in Chicago in November.  And that should round out the year.  Should be exciting!
