Video: Making a JS meetup blow minds
In May I gave this 15 minute talk at JSConf about putting together a great tech meetup, based on my experience putting on VanJS.
JSConf was the largest crowd I’ve presented to so far (about 200 by my count) but it was worth the pressure for sure. Any feedback on my presentation style would be really helpful. Maybe next year I’ll give a talk entitled ‘Eliminating all the “uh”s and head bobbing you see in videos of yourself giving talks’.

This merely serves to remind me that it’s been ages since I’ve collapsed on your floor. If I were more a coder type I’d be all over this beer you speak of :P

Thanks for the talk Allen. I’m wondering how the event will go if the beer and provided during the event :-)

Alex: No problem. I don’t think it matters if beer is provided during the event vs. after. As long as people have time to socialize over food or drinks, it should be a success. Good luck!
