In this first part of a two part series, we highlight financial regulation - what some might consider a dry subject, but FSI can't get get by without it. This first podcast is taken from a keynote panel from OSFF (Open Source in Finance Forum) from London '22. There are a lot of exciting things we're working on the FINOS Regulation Innovation Special Interest Group (SIG), and this panel discussion helps set the stage for where we believe financial regulation stands today, where we think it is going, and then will set us up for some work / announcements that will be coming out in December '22 around Reg, that you can get involved in now: [https://www.finos.org/open-regtech](https://www.finos.org/open-regtech)

In this special episode of the podcast, we sit down with Leslie Hawthorn who is a senior manager for vertical community strategy at Red Hat and a long time friend in the open source world. We leverage her extensive conference speaker knowledge for this "how to" for first time conference speakers. We talk about ideation, planning, psychology, and just getting through the presentation as a way to help folks that have thought about giving a talk about something they care and know about, but have reservations about doing that in front of 10, 100, or 1000 people.
