We acknowledge that some folks who applied to speak and were not selected may feel disappointed, and we totally understand that. If time and budget allowed, we would have loved to have selected many more. But we do have good news for you! We will be showcasing lightning talks, and we hope you’ll consider submitting one.
What are lightning talks?
A lighting talk is a five minutes long address to the attendees on the topic of your choice, and in the language of your choice. This format provides a space for many to quickly share some of their most exciting insights and/or projects. We will group lighting talks together into back-to-back sessions on the main stage, one on each day of the conference.
