Friday Inpromptu Speaking, Public Speaking & Networking Night

🎤 Friday Public Speaking, Impromptu Speaking & Social Night

✨👋Looking for a fun and relaxed way to become a more confident communicator, meet interesting people, and spend your Friday evening doing something different? Although this event is hosted by NUS Alumni Toastmasters Club, it is open to everyone. You do not need to be an NUS student or alumnus to attend. We warmly welcome guests from all backgrounds.

📍 Getting Here & Registration

Registration starts at 7:00 PM, and the meeting begins promptly at 7:30 PM. Come a little earlier if you'd like some time to settle in and chat with members and other guests before we begin. As the meeting is held at SMU, visitors will need to complete SMU visitor registration. The visitor registration link, detailed map, and step-by-step directions to the venue can all be found here: [SMU Visitor Registration, Map & Directions](https://academy.smu.edu.sg/getting-smu/smu-school-economics-school-computing-information-systems-2?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

👂🪑No pressure to speak!

Many first-time guests wonder whether they'll be asked to give a speech. The answer is no. You're completely welcome to just come, listen, observe, and enjoy the evening. Many guests attend their first meeting simply to experience what Toastmasters is like before deciding whether they'd like to participate in future meetings. If you'd like to speak, fantastic. If not, that's perfectly okay too.

More than just public speaking

While communication is at the heart of Toastmasters, many members also enjoy the friendships and conversations that happen around the formal meeting. Come along to:

• Meet people from different professions and backgrounds • Enjoy relaxed one-to-one and small-group conversations • Exchange ideas and experiences • Make new friends in a welcoming environment

There's no need to know anyone beforehand - we'll make sure you feel included.
