Rehearse Your Upcoming Talk - Live Practice Session

Rehearse Your Upcoming Talk - Live Practice Session

Thu, Jun 25, 10:00 PM
From Presentation & Talk Rehearsal - Prehearsal NYC

Bring the real presentation you have coming up and rehearse it in front of a small, supportive audience. Each session is two focused hours with six 15-minute blocks of stage time, so you deliver your actual talk and get quick, constructive feedback. Perfect for thesis defenses, conference talks, demo-day pitches, job talks, and high-stakes work presentations. From $140 per 15-minute stage block. Important: all tickets and presenter slots must be booked and purchased on our website at https://prehearsal.net - not through Meetup. Limited blocks per session, so reserve early. Manhattan - exact venue announced once the session is confirmed. Spectators welcome too - come watch, give feedback, and learn what works. Both presenter and spectator tickets are available at https://prehearsal.net
