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

"I had an amazing day. I couldn't have imagined this morning that I would feel the way I do now." - Adrian Chan, Social Interaction Design

By request, comedian Heather Gold (npr, SXSWi veteran, Apple) is offering her UnPresenting workshop on February 4th.

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? 

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 transform your presentations into conversations.

Participants will structure and lead a conversation and receive critique and guidance from Heather. Registration is limited to 16 people.

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 - $375

After 8 slots are filled, tickets are transferrable and non-refundable.

Limited discounts may be available for non-profits/unemployed/bootstrapping entrepreneurs. To inquire, contact heather: subvert at subvert dot com.
