[SF] Lightning Talks

Write The Docs wants YOU to give a lightning talk!

Lightning talks are short presentations no more than 5 minutes long. You can speak with or without slides – it’s your choice. Here are some suggestions:

+Share something you are currently working on
+Get feedback on a challenge you’re facing
+Talk about a tool or process you’re using
+Polish your presentation skills

Presenting a lightning talk is 100% optional. You’re welcome to attend this meetup as an audience member! We are thrilled to have you, either way.

Tips for preparing a lightning talk:
+Ideally, a lightning talk focuses on one concept in a quick and clear manner. It could be a favorite bit of writing advice, an authoring tool tip, a UX messaging concept, a tidbit of Agile for docs methodology that you live by…or any one of a thousand other things. What’s on your mind this week?
+The subject should be relevant to the WTD audience. Keep in mind, however, that you can be as serious or as silly as you like.
+You can use slides, but you’ll probably want 15 or fewer unless you plan to click through them quickly (PechuKucha).
