If you've even taken a few minutes to read some of these abstracts you'll be stunned at the wide array of fascinating topics our speakers cover -- everything from getting started as an entrepreneur to privacy and cyber-security, keeping kids safe on line and building a start-up team, getting funded and building your personal wealth.

ACCENTS AND PUBLIC SPEAKING
How does an accent affect your chances of getting a speaking gig?
 Recently Bobbie was a speaker at a conference in Philly. As a native upstate New Yorker who has spent the last 30 years in Boston, she likely sounded a little different than the other (local) speakers. She also doesn't have what most people think of as the typical "New Yawk" - upstate, upstate. And she hasn't yet "pahked the cah" but neither does she say "Iggles" when referencing Philadelphia's football team.

BOSTON MEMBERS: Lightning Talk + Hack Night!
Women Who Code
An old fashioned hack night but with a twist! For the first 45 minutes, members will have the opportunity to give short talks about anything. Yep, you heard it: speak about anything at all!
Take this opportunity to practice your speaking skills. The talk doesn't have to be technical and the only requirement is that others should be able to learn something from it. Following the lightning talks, the event will go back to regular hack night programming. Bring any projects you're working on or homework you have to do. Work on a code challenge from one of the many code challenge websites (codeeval, exercism.io, hackerank, etc.). Write a blog post, or just catch up on work or emails. Find out more here!

-- Tammy Coombs, course participant
You too can take your speaking skills from OK to AWESOME with this once yearly course, beginning May 2, 2016.
- Regular registration ends April 29, 2016
