Become a
conference speaker

A free, virtual workshop for women who want to speak at events & conferences.

You’re a woman in a male-dominated field. You're confident in your work, but the thought of public speaking makes you uncomfortable. Perhaps, English is not your first language. You have insights to offer, but do not believe you are experienced enough to be a conference or event speaker. 


At one point you've thought:

  • "I could never do that."
  • "I'm not experienced enough to speak at a conference."
  • "I'll never get accepted."

25% 

of women speakers
at (tech) conferences

Women, on average, make up only 25% of all keynote or stand-alone speakers at tech conferences. Upasna’s mission is to empower women to cultivate confidence and seek opportunities to amplify our representation on the speaker rosters in the tech conference circuit.

As a seasoned public speaker, she has created thoughtful templates, insightful resources, and practical guides from her own journey and experiences. If this is a leap you’ve been thinking of taking, 
wait no more.

Take the first step.
