Experience
I have always been on the other side of the industry webinars, meetups and sessions in areas of interests of mine. This was definitely an incredible experience which I was terribly unsure of doing. It definitely took a bit of practice to go through my round of 25 minutes, which I believe I had to rush to finish to the last second. I have understood that there will always be something which makes you speak more about a topic even after rehersing so many times to stay on time. You have to be honest to yourself and know you have to keep to your plan :)
Will I do this again ? Yes, I have another one planned with HashiCorp around March which I hope to be able to share here.
