CW24 - Lightning Talks

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 CW24 themes of Environmental Sustainability, AI/ML tools for science, and Citizen science.

CW24 lightning talk sessions are currently scheduled for:

  • Day 1: Tuesday, 30 April 2024, 11:20 - 12:00 BST (10:20 - 11:00 UTC)
  • Day 2: Wednesday, 1 May 2024, 14:00 - 14:30 BST (13:00 - 13:30 UTC)
Neil Chue Hong presenting at CW23

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!

CW24 is a hybrid event, and the Lightning Talks will have people presenting both in-person and remotely. The CW24 Organising Committee and local technical support will be managing the video connection between the in-person room and the associated Zoom room. 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. The slides will be shared by the Session Chair on your behalf, and we will be following strict time keeping. Please submit your PDF slide (Widescreen 16:9 dimensions, and please leave a space in the top right corner for us to integrate a timer) to the CW24 Zenodo community no later than 23:00 UTC on Thursday 18 April 2024 following these guidelines: https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.10848450
