Join us for a special edition of Speechless at the NerdMelt Showroom inLOS ANGELES!
Speechless is a live show/corporate training phenomenon that puts presenters on stage to deliver a PowerPoint presentation without any knowledge of the slides or decks.
Watch your favorite tech industry gods and comedians turn improvised presentations into a competitive showdown! Each presenter will be assigned a topic at random: TED Talk, Startup Pitch, Movie Pitch, even a self help seminar. The audience chooses the name of the talk, and then presenters do their best to get through their talk, while attempting to leave the audience Speechless.
