Web veteran and comedian Heather Gold (NPR, SXSWi, Apple) is coming to San Francisco to speak at Word Camp SF and is offering her highly successful UnPresenting workshop which has been taken and recommended by Automattic folks, makers of WordPress, including Matt Mullenweg, it's founder.

UnPresenting teaches a unique interactive performance approach to a limited number of participants in a day-long, hands-on workshop. Why talk about the Internet in a way that's less interactive than the medium you're discussing? Gain a deep experiential understanding of emotion and story in a networked environment. 

You'll learn the emotional mechanics that let you create quick intimacy. Go from talking TO a large group of people to talking WITH them. You already know how to have a great conversation with one person. Learn how to read the room and tranform your presentations into conversations. You'll prepare and lead a conversation with personal guidance from Heather. NO bullet points. NO slides. Just the greatness in you and the "audience." 

Participants will structure and lead a conversation and receive critique and guidance from Heather. Registration is limited to a small group.

Who should come

•Anyone who gives presentations or runs meetings and wants to energize and engage everyone in the room. 

•Designers, UX people, toolmakers and entrepreneurs who want to learn how to create space for authentic connection between people. 

•Community, social media and marketing people who start, host and continue to energize conversations.

Registration 

Tickets are transferrable and non-refundable.  

If your company is paying or reimbursing you then you'll need a company ticket. Lower price tickets are available for independents.  

More information and questions: http://unpresenting.com or contact unpresenting [at] subvert.com. I am a big believer in the power of personal attention. That's why I'm being clear when it's limited. At UnPresenting mine is undivided and focused on your and everyone in the room.

Presenting superpowers and fun are provided. Lunch is not.
