Community Action Night - Lightning Talks

In honor of the upcoming Code for America Summit (summit.codeforamerica.org), we're kicking off the evening with a series of lightning talks featuring 2 speakers presenting a topic of their choice, followed by Q&A with the audience.

A Lightning Talk:

⚡ Is a 5 minute presentation on any useful and compelling topic
⚡ Can be given by anyone - a brigade member, a government agency, organization or group dedicated to improving the Orlando community
⚡ Doesn't even have to be about something technical

Current Topics and Speakers (Subject to change):
