entrepreneurship

How do technology pros communicate their value? Usually by listing their development skills, programming languages they know, and technology domains in which they are experts. Communicating effectively to land a gig or a job requires a different approach, one that communicates the benefits of IT skills in a manner that everyone can appreciate, regardless of the listener's tech skills. I will teach effective approaches in this talk/workshop.

How can technology increase accessibility for those with physical challenges? This talk will be centered around how personal experiences can lead to creative ideas and inventive solutions utilizing the vast amount of technology available to us today.
