  • Session Prep Checklist
  • Writing a Script

    Your script will change based on your event agenda for the session. Below are some topics to consider when drafting your script, as well as some script examples.

    When drafting your script, it is important that your words are your own, and are spoken naturally. If you’re reading an unrehearsed script the content may sound robotic, forced, and unnatural. Practice your script out loud beforehand and speak casually, as if you were talking to a friend.
