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!
CW23 is a hybrid event, and the Lightning Talks will have people presenting both in-person and remotely. A professional audio/visual company will be managing the video connection between the in-person room and the associated Zoom room, and helpers from the CW23 Organising Committee will be present to assist during the session. Proposers will need to confirm if they will present in-person or remotely if accepted.
Speakers
Note for lightning talk speakers: Lightning talks are limited to 1 PDF slide and 2 minutes - no HTML slides, no GIFs, no videos or other formats will be displayed. Please submit your PDF slide (Widescreen 16:9 dimensions, and leave a space in the top right corner for us to integrate a timer) following the guidance here no later than 23:00 UTC on Wednesday, 26 April 2023.
Speakers, submit your lightning talk slide here!
