Lightning Talks moderated by Lou Mazzucchelli
It’s Your Turn to Brag

Every Summit participant is invited to submit a topic for consideration in this perennial favorite Summit session. Lightning Talks concisely present a single strategy, technique, success, challenge, etc. relating to one of the Summit sessions or themes. It's a great time to brag — and it's an equally great time to present a problem and ask the group for ideas! Think of it as a no-pressure conversation starter in front of a very supportive audience — we highly suggest participating!

Lightning Talk Tips & Tricks

  • Think of a Lightning Talk as a no-pressure conversation starter in front of a very supportive audience.
  • Each presenter is allowed up to 5 minutes.
  • You don't need slides, just something you want to share.
  • If you do want to use slides, create 5 max on an empty/all-white template. We will compile the presentations and they will run by the event team and auto-advanced while you present. (You can let us know your timing.)
  • Here are some tips on writing/presenting Lightning Talks.
