Got something to share? Lightning Talks are quick, punchy presentations designed to get ideas flowing fast. You can choose from one of three formats:
• A 3-minute talk without slides
• A 5-minute talk with slides
• A Pecha Kucha-style talk (20 slides that auto-advance every 20 seconds—totaling 6 minutes and 40 seconds)
Selected talks will appear in the conference program and are open to all registered attendees. If your talk is accepted, you’ll need to be registered for the conference. Have questions? Just ask—we’re here to help.
Keep It Educational
These talks are part of our educational program, so they should focus on insights, stories, and lessons—not sales pitches. It's fine to say where you work or what you do for context, but please avoid promoting products or services. When in doubt, reach out—we’re happy to clarify.
Q: What if I can’t make the scheduled time?
A: Let us know! We’ll try to place you in another slot if possible. If not, we’ll offer the spot to another submitter.
Q: Do I need to be registered to participate?
A: Yes, all Lightning Talk speakers must be registered attendees.
Q: What if the event sells out before I register?
A: Don’t worry—just contact us and we’ll help you figure it out.
