CW22 - Lightning Talks

Photo by Josep Castells on Unsplash

A lightning talk gives you two minutes and one slide to discuss a subject. Lightning talks are the perfect way to introduce yourself at the workshop.

You could talk about your work, an idea, a problem, a pitch for the CW Hack Day or anything that's related to software and research, and ideally related to the themes of CW22: Code Review, Ethics, Hybrid Working, or Software Sustainability. Alternatively you could focus on one of the sub-themes of collaborative working, data/code sharing, reproducible research or data science.

CW22 lightning talk sessions are currently scheduled for: 

  • Day 1: Monday, 4 April 2022 from 12:00 - 12:30 BST (11:00 - 11:30 UTC)
  • Day 2: Tuesday, 5 April 2022 from 13:35 - 14:10 BST (12:35 - 13:10 UTC)

How quick is lightning?

Lightning is pretty quick: two minutes. You will be allowed only one slide, which you will have to submit in advance if selected. You'll be presenting alongside a countdown timer, so you'll have to keep to time. However, it's amazing how much you can present in two minutes!
