How to Give an Epic WordCamp Talk

You know that iThemes makes plugins and themes but did you also know we participate in WordCamps? Most of the iThemes team has presented at a WordCamp or Meetup including several dedicated speakers. We believe one of the best ways to engage in the WordPress community is by presenting helpful, actionable information to those who will listen. Everyone has something useful to share and we want to help you get your message out. Fresh off his Keynote at WordCamp DFW, Cory has some great tips for those thinking of giving a WordCamp or Meetup presentation.
