What
Lightning Talks
Women in Tech Auckland hosts regular events for our community, and our purpose is to create networks and amplify the voices of people from marginalised groups. We’re looking for speakers for our next event, on 31 July, which will be a series of short Lightning Talks.
This is a format where you get 5 minutes to speak, you provide 20 slides, which are set to advance automagically every 15 seconds. For people who want to practice their speaking skills, Lightning Talks give you the opportunity to present for the first time without having to create a formal presentation proposals, and its short so its a great intro to speaking in public. A good lightning talk is insightful, inspiring, thought-provoking, useful, humorous, controversial, or enlightening.
You do not have to be an experienced speaker! Your work and time are valuable even if you have never spoken before. We are happy to meet with you for coffee and brainstorm ideas, as well as attend a dry run of your talk and provide constructive feedback.
Let us know if you’d like to do a Lightning Talk using this form.
We value the participation of each member of our community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Please familiarise yourself with our Code of Conduct ahead of attending a Women in Tech meetup.
