Avevo esperienza come docente in un istituto tecnico e in alcuni corsi di formazione, ma \u00e8 abbastanza diverso rispetto a essere speaker in un evento.<\/p>\n<p>L&#8217;esperienza \u00e8 stata talmente positiva che mi ha convinto a inviare candidature come speaker anche ad altri WordCamp successivi, e con grande sorpresa sono stato selezionato a quasi tutti quelli a cui avevo fatto richiesta (Torino, Londra, Bologna, Belgrado). Di fatto il talk del WordCamp Roma 2017 \u00e8 stato il primo di una lunga ed inaspettata serie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Cosa si prova a parlare davanti alla platea del WordCamp Roma? Com&#8217;\u00e8 il pubblico?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Partecipe e accogliente, sono arrivate critiche ma pertinenti.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ha risposto cos\u00ec\u00a0<strong>Piero Savastano<\/strong>, che l&#8217;anno scorso si \u00e8 fatto accompagnare dal suo pollo di gomma per raccontare al pubblico del WordCamp come realizzare un motore di raccomandazione per WordPress in 100 righe di codice.<\/p>\n<p>Per <strong>Marco Chiesi<\/strong>, invece&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>L&#8217;emozione era palpabile, non essendo abituato a parlare in un contesto come quello. Il pubblico direi che era pi\u00f9 che altro affamato, dato che era l&#8217;ultimo talk prima della pausa pranzo.\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Infine <strong>Raffaella Isidori<\/strong>, che al WordCamp Roma 2017 ha parlato di personal branding, ricorda cos\u00ec le impressioni catturate dal palco:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Io non ho timore a parlare in pubblico. Sono invece rimasta molto colpita dall\u2019interesse del pubblico per la mia materia &#8211; non necessariamente legata all\u2019ambito WordPress. Interesse confermato poi nei mesi successivi, a diversi WordCamp in giro per l\u2019Europa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>E ora qualche consiglio direttamente dai nostri speaker&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Se solo all&#8217;idea di parlare in pubblico l&#8217;adrenalina ti travolge, allora dovresti leggere il suggerimento di<strong> Luca Tumedei<\/strong>, che lo scorso anno \u00e8 stato con noi per parlare di refactoring. Con il suo umorismo ti salver\u00e0!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Immaginare tutti nudi non funziona. Controlla le uscite di sicurezza. A 4 anni hai recitato una poesia a memoria alla famiglia: quello era peggio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Raffaella Isidori<\/strong>, invece, insiste sul valore positivo di questa esperienza:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Non ci sono aspetti negativi, ma solo positivi: mettersi in gioco \u00e8 necessario per crescere, sia professionalmente che umanamente.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Infine, <strong>Piero Savastano<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Buttati perch\u00e9 ci sono poche occasioni l&#8217;anno di partecipare a eventi cos\u00ec.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Ok, ma perch\u00e9 vale la pena candidarsi come speaker al WordCamp Roma?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Essere speaker \u00e8 un&#8217;ottima scusa per farsi una mini-vacanza nella citt\u00e0 eterna.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dice <strong>Marco Chiesi<\/strong>, che vive e lavora a Teramo, in Abruzzo. Gli fa eco Andrea Volpini, romano D.O.C., che afferma:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>La nostra citt\u00e0 \u00e8 splendida!\u00a0\ud83d\udc99<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Luca Tumedei<\/strong>, dal canto suo, si concentra sull&#8217;importanza di parlare in pubblico:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Parlare in pubblico \u00e8 la meno pubblicizzata e pi\u00f9 importante abilit\u00e0 che tu possa apprendere. Il codice che scrivi \u00e8 tanto &#8220;pulito&#8221; quanto \u00e8 leggibile da un altro essere umano, non una macchina. Parlare in pubblico \u00e8 solo un altro modo di rilasciare idee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Hai ancora qualche dubbio?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Paura di parlare in pubblico?

I had experiences as teacher in a technical institute and in some training courses, but it&#8217;s quite a different thing compared with speaking at an event.<\/p>\n<p>The experience in Rome has been so much positive that it convinced me to apply as a speaker to several other WordCamps, and &#8211; with my biggest surprise &#8211; I have been selected in most of them (Turin, London, Boulogne, Belgrade). For me, the talk at WordCamp Rome 2017 has been the first of a long and unexpected series of events as a speaker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>How does it feel to talk at the WordCamp Rome? What&#8217;s the audience like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Participating and welcoming, criticisms arrived but it was pertinent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the answer of\u00a0<strong>Piero Savastano<\/strong>, that last year joined the WordCamp with a rubber chicken to explain how to realize a recommendation\u00a0engine for a WordPress site in 100 lines of code.<\/p>\n<p>For\u00a0<strong>Marco Chiesi<\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The excitation was tangible, because I was not used to talk in events like that.

Nevertheless I was impressed by how much the audience was interested to my speech &#8211; which was not strictly WordPress related.
