Let's Talk About It!
Our Tea Talks are a great business casual event for those looking to present on topics they care about while networking with other professionals over some treats. When the weather is nice these infamous monthly gatherings are sometimes brought to iconic outdoor venues or picnic style luncheons. Come sit and learn over some tea!
Tea Talks give our members the opportunity to fine tune their public speaking, presentation, and research skills in a supportive environment. We're here to hype you up for your next speaker event and teach our members real life skills and applications.
Tea Talks are free to all members, we only ask you bring a snack or drink to share :)
Scheduling
Tea Talk Landing
Take the first few minutes to check in and find a seat. Catch up with someone old and someone new.
Opening Remarks
A member from our E-board will give the welcome address and introduce the speakers of today's talk ending with a Tea Toast.
Impact Speaker
The first presenter of the day is called our 'Impact Speaker'. Impact speakers will lead with a more interactive and lesson based talk focused on one or more of the five pillars of our organization. They may cover practical everyday skills, or focus on one's individual growth and life lessons.
Technical Speaker
Technical Speakers present on more specific or lesser known topics. This portion of the program is intended to expose our audience to new fields, issues, or technical skills. This also a great opportunity for young professionals to speak upon their niche career paths, their ongoing research, or philanthropic passions.
Surprise Speaker
Occasionally we might bring in a surprise speaker. For shorter talks that don't quite fit into either category these talks are unannounced until the day of. From abstract shower thoughts, to surprise performances, and visits from public officials, these talks are often marked by their creativity and inspiration.
After Hours Activity
After the speakers are done we save plenty of time for socializing. This is your chance to mingle with the day's speakers, catch up with other members and perhaps contemplate whether you'd like to be our next speaker at a future tea.
