Eloquent Speaker
Ahmad Awais
Hi, I am Ahmad Awais!
I love public speaking – so much so that I’ve spent most of the last five years on the road (with an average of 33 conferences/meetups/seminars a year). I am able to talk for hours and hours. I once gave a talk and conducted a workshop for six straight hours. No chairs were thrown. ;)
This page lists a non-exhaustive list of my talks and all other speaking engagements. For organizers, I also maintain a speaker-bio and speaker-terms page. Check it out or feel free to get in touch.
⚠️ Work in progress. I’m publishing it to “Write in Public” i.e. publish before you edit. This helps me fight imposter syndrome. Yet this page is missing several years of history, that I plan to add sooner than later.
