Hey there, RISE Members!
Based on July’s Social Meeting, Andrew had an excellent idea of doing a lightning talk session to get the brain juices flowing. We are looking for some speakers. This is a great place to start with an idea and see if the audience engages with it!
Please submit lightning talk ideas here: https://forms.gle/9jNBphermEi4w78EA
If there are enough submissions (more than 5), overlapping topics, etc; we may have a follow-up survey to downselect or do another lightning talk round in September. Not quite sure yet, but let’s see where this goes.
What is a lightning talk? A shortened talk (10 minutes speaking, 5 minutes for questions) to quickly introduce a topic. Time is important here, so you will want to cover the following items:
- Establish rapport
- Quick overview of subject
- Establish value (teach the crowd something new)
- Offer hints for follow-on talk (you will learn XYZ)
- Topics consistent with last month’s Topic Survey Results
Meeting info:
August 10th, 2023 @ 5:30pm
Venue TBD
Hope to see some fun talks!
