Event Details

"Heather's a black belt in engaging audiences in a meaningful and authentic way." - Jerry Michalski

"One of our favorite comedians." - boingboing.net

"I'm inspired. That's the bottom line of it."- Peter Riering-Czekalla, IDEO

Comedian, keynote speaker and authority on tummeling Heather Gold (Web 2.0 Google, SXSW) and Janera are offering Heather's UnPresenting workshop in New York City on Saturday March 27th .

UnPresenting teaches a unique interactive performance approach to a limited number of participants in a highly experiential workshop. Why talk about the Internet in a way that's less interactive than the medium you're discussing? How can you make the moment more interesting than what's on twitter?

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. Be yourself in public. Learn how to engage the room and transform your presentations into conversations.  

Participants will structure and lead a conversation and receive critique and guidance from Heather. Registration is limited to 14 people.

Who should come

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

• Anyone who wants a visceral experience and understanding of how to thrive in our post-social media communication.

• Anyone looking to be comfortable 

•Designers, UX people, toolmakers and entrepreneurs who want to understand social dynamics and 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 - $480
