Talks. I gave a few this year.
Most potentially depressing was in Brazil. Where there were only four of us. And two of those were stff. Leaving an audience of one. (Thanks Tina!) But, it was quite fun. I've been in the speaking game long enough to have had multiple truly disastrous gigs. I just found this amusing. I enjoy talking. It doesn't matter how large the audience is. One is good enough for me.
Most disrupted by nature was in Sydney. Where a combination of torrential rain and a tin roof made me inaudible, even with amplification. I had to regularly pause, when even I couldn't hear myself.
Most poignant was in Chile. Where I contributed to Martyn Cornell's talk about Porter in South America. Which was really informative. The only time we've ever worked together.
Most fun was in Melbourne. Because I had a co-host and loads of time. It was so relaxed. I even had time to drink the accompanying beer. That's never happened before. A slightly weird event, too, as a roast dinner was served midway.
I've already got a couple of speaking gigs lined up for 2026. Hopefully more will come.
