Speaker Rider

by Tatiana Mac

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

Good content should be:

• Authentic.
• Helpful.
• Human.

The idea here is that good content is all about the reader. Good content should be written for a very particular reader (for instance, you wouldn't write content that you want to do well for both enterprise PMs as well as developers, because you'd end up diluting your message to both). The idea is that your content should be genuine and authentic. If it's something that your target reader wouldn't find useful, maybe you shouldn't do it?

Another thing is that content shouldn't be self-promotional. It should instead be educational / helpful to your target reader. So for instance, if a lot of Stormpath developers are having issues understanding how sessions work, then writing an article which explains how sessions work in depth is a great way to genuinely help a developer trying to figure this stuff out, and gains a lot of brand awareness / goodwill.
