Want to be a speaker on stage, but don't know how to be a speaker?
And if so, how to prepare? This post has an answer.
Because we recount our personal experiences.
Ready to point out the methods.
It's all in software developers.
.
Of course, we have been speakers for many events, there will be many kinds, but mainly talking about meetups or conferences, and after a while, David came back to life.
Currently, I've been a speaker 17 times in about nine years, some years I haven't been a speaker, maybe a few jobs a year, any job I can hire, haha.
P.S. recounts from personal experience that we sent ourselves as speakers, which is not related to the company in any way, and the company does not support anything or benefit from the company.

🛣️ our speaker path.
We've previously said that starting with Kotlin blogging, Bird invited him to be the speaker of Kotlin Meetup 1.2, the first time in our lives, and then continuing with Android Bangkok Conference 2018 and Code Mania 111 (now probably National Coding Day today).
People don't write blogs right now. 😅
Many people make pages as content creators and educators, but they know us from here.

🗣️ What if you want to be a speaker?
In the Dave industry, there are invitations as speakers and speakers, sometimes they want to find new people because they are bored with the same people. 😆
(We in the organizer's corner also want new people, either as attendee or as speaker.
The basic method may be used to present myself to the organizer that I want to be the speaker of this event. If he poses for such as the Mobile Native Thailand Meetup, when there is a post from the elder majors in 2024, there is no one until the younger of our team greeted, hahahahahaha, the band was very much at that time. Before talking, he was hit in another channel in the messenger to find each other. 😆
Many big events, such as the National Coding Day of the Programmers Association, use sessionize as a popular platform to make call-to-paper or FOSSASIA work. Understand that he has a platform to manage his own event called eventyay.
But if it's not Dave, let's talk to Barcamp. Some people think it's definitely Dave's. Talk geek exactly (of course not mentioned on any page 😜). Ordinary people can actually get involved.
We used to be in one year visual. There is a topic to remember: how to play tinder to get a girlfriend (if you remember correctly). Another year that has not been, the most regrettable is the session. The session teaches how to make crispy pigs. What is really? We offer a topic and then have an interesting topic vote. About the same as National Coding Day 2026. There is an open space to say anything to be in the event.
Being a speaker makes people know us more than ever, experience, release power, leave some messages to people to be useful. For example, we are an Android Developer, also speak in the Android area. If it comes to a wide range, it should be Kotlin that is the main language of development.
Or someone has to be the content creator who makes the content that people remember. There is a certain level of fame in the industry. In this case, he also invited, like the web 3 industry.

👩💻 suddenly become a speaker. How to prepare?
- Study the details of the event. What groups of people are there? Who are our listeners? The work that includes all Dave lines, the topic may be a little broad. Choose a story that doesn't go very deep.
- Topic: Choose the subject that people are interested in, trendy, suitable for the job, which the bang is difficult to predict, like doing content.
- How to tell a story: Tell it in sequence one point at a time. Don't focus on the letters in the slides. Focus on the impact images is better. Have to tell fun. Make a slide for people to remember where they are now. It's good to put a meme if it's attention, people can listen and communicate, understand the picture.
- Leave a key message for people to remember us or call-to-action after the session. What to do, for example, we talk about Github Profile to give people an idea. Continue at home.
- Practice talk, practice a lot, have friends to listen to, it's great to adjust anything, especially the time it takes, it should fit, it's a little broken.
- The real day, get your stuff ready, come quickly, sneak up and see the room where we can talk first, knowing on the day of 😆
Actually, there is content recommended to read. Used to paste but can paste again. Like to paste 555

👩💻 Timeline to be speaker. The edition sent itself to speak.
First of all, do we have any topics you want to share? You can reuse them from knowledge sharing in the team by preparing the topics, details, slides, or outlines roughly.
When the speaker announcements, we have to see what kind of job description is? What kind of topic do we have or do we want to share a match with the speaker?
- If it's a greeting, go in and talk by introducing your name, topic, details.
- Most of them are call-to-paper. Subscribe to that web. There are details about us. Then go to the call-to-paper. Fill in the topic. Details. Each task has different details, such as lightning talk or talk or workshop. These two are different lengths, or fill in the language to be spoken (Thai English) and then submit and wait for the results.
Then wait for the time when he accepts?
- If not accepted, then do something else. End flow.
- If he accepts, congratulations, and some work will be available for us to confirm again.
And then it's time to spin the slide, write a quick script of what each page says, and try to practice a little bit to determine if we don't take too much time to talk, adjust the speed.
Don't forget to practice talking, maybe alone, and with the team, watch feedback and fix it.
The slide must be done before the actual talk day. Some work to submit first.
Before the day of the event, get ready, mostly carry a computer, take a tow, and get enough sleep.
When the day of the event arrives early before our session, we usually come in the morning to see the place and the person who comes to the event, knowing the stage we will speak at the event. 😅 If they have, plug in the phone before this one. At least you can slide us on the screen.
It's time our session started, the show must go on.
Finally, it's over. Yeah, yeah. Wait to hear feedback from people at the event (which usually doesn't have).

จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ผมได้ลองเป็น speaker มาแล้วถึง 17 ครั้งในระยะเวลาเกือบ 10 ปี ผมพบว่าเส้นทางสู่การเป็น speaker ที่ดีนั้นต้องเริ่มต้นจากการสร้างตัวตนในวงการก่อน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการเขียนบล็อก แชร์ความรู้ หรือทำ content creator ในแพลตฟอร์มต่าง ๆ เพราะมันทำให้ผู้จัดงานรู้จักและให้โอกาสมากขึ้น ผมเคยเริ่มจากการเขียนบทความเกี่ยวกับ Kotlin จากนั้นจึงได้รับเชิญไปร่วมพูดในงาน Kotlin Meetup งานนี้จึงเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นที่ทำให้ผมกล้าแสดงออกและเรียนรู้วิธีการเตรียมตัวบนเวที นอกจากการเตรียม content ที่น่าสนใจ อินเทรนด์ และเหมาะสมกับกลุ่มผู้ฟังแล้ว วิธีเล่าเรื่องก็เป็นสิ่งสำคัญ สไลด์ไม่ควรมีข้อความยาวเกินไป ควรใช้ภาพที่โดดเด่นและเรียกร้องความสนใจได้ การใส่มีม หรือสัญลักษณ์บางอย่าง ก็ช่วยทำให้บรรยากาศการพูดน่าสนใจและไม่น่าเบื่อ การเตรียมตัวที่ดีควรซ้อมพูดบ่อย ๆ โดยเฉพาะการลองพูดหน้าคนอื่นเพื่อรับฟังคำแนะนำและปรับปรุงแก้ไข รวมทั้งการบริหารเวลาให้พอดี เพราะเวลาเกินหรือยังไม่พอก็ทำให้ผู้ฟังรู้สึกไม่ดีได้ อีกสิ่งที่หลายคนมองข้ามคือการเตรียมตัวด้านเทคนิค เช่น การทดสอบอุปกรณ์ สายเชื่อมต่อ และดูสถานที่ล่วงหน้า เพื่อให้วันจริงไม่เกิดความผิดพลาดที่ไม่จำเป็น สำหรับใครที่อยากลองเริ่มต้น เส้นทางง่าย ๆ คือการติดตามงาน meetup หรืองาน conference ในวงการซอฟต์แวร์ที่เปิดรับ speaker โดยผ่านระบบ call-to-paper หรือการติดต่อผู้จัดงานโดยตรง พร้อมเตรียมหัวข้อและข้อเสนอแนะที่น่าสนใจ ส่งโปรไฟล์และรายละเอียดไปให้เขาพิจารณา สุดท้าย แม้ว่าการขึ้นพูดในที่สาธารณะจะสร้างความตื่นเต้นและกดดัน แต่ถ้าคุณลองเริ่มลงมือทำจริง รับรองว่าจะได้ประสบการณ์ดี ๆ ได้พบปะผู้คนในวงการ และสร้างชื่อเสียงให้กับตัวเองอย่างไม่คาดคิดครับ
