A first-time DA's experience speaking at DevRelCon 2021

Ramón Huidobro is an experienced software developer who recently started a Developer Advocate role at CodeSee.

He delivered his debut DevRel talk at DevRelCon 2021, where he spoke about inclusive, effective, fun live-streaming for DevRel audiences. He documented what his process was like to prepare and deliver his talk so others could follow his path.

His preparation recommendations:

• Start with what you'll give: Outline 4-5 key pieces of advice you want your audience to take away from your talk
• Build your slides: Start with one slide for each piece of advice, and add supporting slides into each topic area
• Practice: Build yourself a bit of a script, and then give the talk to yourself multiple times
• Consider the angles: When you're streaming, choose a dynamic camera angle that still lets you connect with your audience
