It depends on the venue/format of the presentation of course, but you could run a workshop without being an expert. A workshop would be something where you have an idea you want to flesh out and you want to gather 10-12 people in a room for a day to really work it over. In that case, just being passionate about the topic and a good facilitator would be all you need to run something. Or you could speak with someone; co-present. In a way, 9rules is like a virtual unconference so you are gathering speaking experience each time you blog and interact with your commenters. :) I do know what you mean, but I am not sure you have to be an expert on something to be a speaker.

I've thought about public speaking more (outside of business fraternity meetings) and this seems like a good place to start.. Now all I have to do is become an expert on something.. ;) Good find, Matto.
