Foojay Podcast #59: DevRel Explained and How to Become a Conference Speaker

Wondering what a Developer Relations job actually involves, or how to get on stage at a conference for the first time? We brought together a panel who lives this every week to answer both questions in plain terms. In episode 59 of the Foojay Podcast, I host Clo Willaerts, Josh Long, Baruch Sadogursky, Pratik Patel, and Roni Dover for a candid conversation about the craft.

What we talked about

• The difference between marketing conferences and technical conferences
• Whether keynote speakers get paid, and when
• What DevRel professionals do day to day
• Moving from a developer role into DevRel
• Building a conference talk that stands out
• Live coding on stage and how to handle the risks
• How DevRel feedback shapes product decisions
• Three tips for new speakers: ask to speak, stand out, and commit to the performance
