If you have ever thought "I've got a talk in me" - here is your chance!

What makes this event different?

Bigger audience
Full AV setup (slides, video, audio, props)
No rigid rules on format or topic (just a max limit of 10 minutes to keep us to time)
It is not a competition - it is an opportunity to deliver something a level up from a standard club speech...

Why put your hand up?

Tackle a Galactic Program Goal:
- Deliver a TED Talk-style presentation (Activity 36)
- In-Depth Workshop (20)
- Inspirational or Motivational Presentation (23)
- Practical Demonstration (29)
- Teach Us (30)
- Artistic Performance (36)
- Or even one of the compelling Launchpad or Orbit activities
Step up towards a more challenging speaker level
Present something you actually care about
Be remembered for it

This year's theme: What Inspires You

Share your passion for woodwork, music, dance, nature, chess, rock-climbing, tennis, accounting standards – whatever it is that gets you out of bed in the morning and makes life worth it - we want you to inspire us and share why your passion inspires you!

Final thought

Don’t overthink it. The best talks usually start as a simple idea you care about. Presentations up to 10 mins, and suitable for a general audience. Opportunities to deliver an important presentation at a first-class venue, and with a supportive audience don’t come along every day. Make the most of Rostrum’s world-class coaches, training programs, and speaking knowledge and put yourself out there!

Speaker spots will be limited — so start thinking now.

Not interesting in presenting - Come Along and be inspired!

Unlike many other Rostrum speaking events, this is not a speaking competition - It is an opportunity for those who have put their names forward to present in a larger venue, with access to technology, and in front of a large crowd - that is where YOU come in...

Come along and support these speakers, some at the beginning of their Public Speaking careers, some more experienced, but all on a journey to becoming better presenters. You never know what you might learn...
