At the last DJUGL in October there was a suggestion that next time we should have a night of lightening talks.
Lots of people I’ve spoken to about this since have been really keen to do something so I’m trying to get a list of potential speakers confirmed as soon as possible.
I’ve been to a couple of lightening talk nights before and think that a strict 5 mins is a good time limit for each speaker with a few minutes of Q&A while the next person sets up.
The approx schedule would allow for around 14 mini talks (2/3 slides max) with plenty of time for chatting beforehand, in a quick break and afterwards.

Please let me know if you would like to speak so I can start
collating a list.
We will also need a venue that lends itself well to this sort of event. Please shout if you have any ideas.
I’m going to provide the usual Pizza/beers for the night so also keen to know numbers of people who would like to attend (this will also impact the venue we can use)
Dates wise, I was thinking either the 26th/27th November or 3rd/4th December. Is there anything else happening over those dates that would clash?
If anyone has any thoughts on anything raised, please let me know as I would happily take input on it.
Thanks
Jon
