We're back with our 12th LJC Lunchtime Lightning Talks session.

The first part will be a series of lightning talks (5-7 minutes) on a variety of topics.

The second part will be a Q+A on tech speaking and will feature some guest attendees, experienced conference speakers who will answer your questions.

We will aim to have a maximum of 4-5 lightning talks. You can tune in and tune out as you wish. The talks can be on anything you’re interested in.

We will keep it very light (pardon the pun) and hopefully it will be a bit of fun before the weekend to enjoy over your lunch hour.

As we’ve often talked about, lightning talks are a great opportunity to try, test or hone your speaking and presentation skills. They are usually under 7 minutes, with 2 minutes of Q+A.

PART ONE:

Speaking at this event are:

Sarah Usher - 'Data Plumbing'

Kabir Khan - 'Essential Maven tricks when working on large projects'

Krystian Bucko - 'Using Psychology in day to day social interactions'

Tom Spencer - 'Dojos: An efficient system for learning new languages through katas'

Amr Gawish - Talk TBC

PART TWO:

Our guest will answer your questions on what it’s like to be on the conference circuit, how to deal with nerves, choose a topic, structure a talk, write an abstract and anything else you’d like to know.

Previous guests have included Steve Poole, Trisha Gee and Jim Gough. This time we will be joined by Kevin Wittek. Kevin is Testcontainers co-maintainer and Testcontainers-Spock author. He's spoken at conferences such as ApacheCon, TestCon and has recently spoken to the LJC.

This event is organised by RecWorks on behalf of the London Java Community.
