Conference Talks by Erin Fox

A collection of conference talks I have given with their recording and article (if available) as well as question organizations should answer if asking me to speak.

What’s In This Repo?

Questions

(What I'll ask you if you ask me to talk at your event.)

  • Is travel to and from the event provided?
  • Is lodging provided for the full length of the event?
  • Will arriving one full day before the event be possible?
  • Will I receive a full ticket to the event to attend all the talks, workshops, etc?
  • What is your speaker fee?
  • What is your code of conduct and how do you enforce it?
  • What is the specific audience for the talks? What do they tend to find most useful?
  • How many people are expected to attend?
  • How long are talks expected to be?
  • What percentage of the overall speakers roster is Black or Latinx? I'm white and I've made a commitment to appear as a speaker at conferences that have more than token representation of people traditionally excluded from tech.

About Erin

(What I send to people as my bio.)

Short version

Erin Fox is an international speaker who has found a home in the React Community. Whether it’s building out projects in React or React Native, she enjoys a good Flexbox challenge and finding different UI solutions. She’s passionate about explaining things simply and cats. She lives in the Bay Area, California.

Long version

I’m Erin - raised in the Bay Area, schooled in Sonoma, Hawaii, and NYC. I’m a software engineer with a drive for JavaScript, React, explaining things simply and cats. I hold a MA in Communication from Hawaii Pacific University and previously worked at Major League Soccer on the mobile team. I’ve given talks internationally and across the US on the work I’ve been doing. I keep busy with new side projects, reading all of Reese Witherspoon’s bookclub books, re-watching Frontend Master courses, and tweeting about it all on Twitter.
