Talk Description
It's not a TestBash without 99 Second Talks!
The 99 Second Talks is the attendee's stage, an opportunity for you to come on stage and talk for, that's right, 99 seconds.
You can talk about anything, a testing topic you want to share, a personal experience, or an idea sparked by all the amazing talks, workshops, activities and conversations you've had for the past two days... the stage is yours, for 99 seconds!
This is also a great opportunity for you to kick-start your public speaking experience and/or give it a boost.
Our well-known hosts Gwen Diagram and Tristan Lombard (AKA Stage Mom), introduced community members on stage.
Once the time's up, a noise is heard and that's it: time's up!
By the end of this session, you'll be able to:
- Introduction to public speaking
- Learn from fellow community members
Gwen Diagram is a technology professional from Leeds who specialises in testing. She is an avid automation evangelist with a focus on testing complemented by repeatable build processes with monitoring. She has had varied roles throughout her career including Scrum Master at a Start Up, Engineering Manager at a bank and DevOps kid at a large Financial Services organisation. She is currently the Head of Engineering at Glean in Leeds.
As a strong believer in making the tech industry as open and punk as possible, she co-organises a twice yearly free day long testing conference called the Leeds Testing Atelier. She speaks regularly at local meet-up groups, Agile Yorkshire and Leeds DevOps, duels with creative types at events like the Tech Off, speaks internationally at conferences such as Nordic Testing Days in Tallinn and was the closing keynote at Agile on the Beach in Falmouth, UK in 2018.
Outside of work, you will usually find her hanging around a Natural History Museum somewhere in the world marvelling at how incredibly excellent dinosaurs are, feeding pigeons or ducks or obsessing over transport.
