How to Write a Lightning Talk Workshop

PyLadies -- Have you ever wanted to give a talk at a conference and then realize that the idea of speaking for 25-45 minutes is really daunting? Does a 5 minute talk sound more doable?

This event is all about writing a lightning talk that you can present at the next PyLadies Lightning Talk Event or conference you go to. A lightning talk is a 5 minute long talk about something that you are passionate about. We will work in groups, find an idea, write the talk as a group, and then present at the end of the night.
