Digital Communicators is part of Toastmasters International, a non-profit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs. In this fast-evolving online-communication world, Digital Communicators know that strong virtual speaking does not follow the same rules as strong in-person presentations, so members are taught expertise in using digital tools including Zoom, Prezi, OBS and live-streaming.

Keynote is by Guy Doza on the Art of Rhetoric
In 2019, Guy gave a TEDx Talk at the University of Cambridge about how rhetoric influences the decisions that shape our lives. He has also lectured and written for Oxford, Harvard and Caltech.
Rhetoric in a time of crisis is fascinating and, according to the climate change activists, this is the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced.
Naturally, words matter – now more so than ever. Words dictate actions that determine the future.
We all need to reflect on the importance of the environment and think about how we can communicate our collective responsibility in a considered and effective way without drowning optimism for the future.
Guy Doza joined Toastmasters in 2013. He has been a member of three clubs since then including Cambridge Speakers Club. His favourite speech was one he wrote for his nine-year-old brother who successfully stood for a position on his school council.
