Discussion on: What's a better way to start a conference talk than "Uh... okay, so I guess it's time to get started?"

If it's your first conference talk, you probably don't want to try a ridiculous starting sentence, so I would just do something like this:

Hi everybody, good to see you all here, I love to tell you all about Accessibility and if you think that React and Accessibility don't belong in the same sentence, wow, have I got news for you. But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Sean, and I'm a software developer at Niche Inc. in Pittsburgh, PA. I love creating dynamic, accessible, and user-friendly interfaces with React. And as I said, I'm gonna tell you all about it.

Good luck next week!

Oh wow, you did all the work for me! I like how you built the hook into the introduction.

I may just use this! 👍
