Hot Source Sparks - Lightning Talks

The incredibly popular festive lightning talks are back for 2023!

This is your chance to experience a quick-fire story storm. We have a completely open theme, so you can talk about whatever you'd like.

What's this all about?
Each talk will last precisely 5-minutes. Each speaker will have 15 slides to illustrate their talk. And each slide will automatically advance after 20 seconds.

Hot Source Sparks are Norfolk's version of Pecha Kucha / Ignite talks (we have fewer slides but give you a generous 5 second extra on each one).

Where will we be?
We'll be checking out Bedford's Bar in the heart of Norwich. We've got the place to ourselves, too!

Is food/drink provided?
We have some lovely sponsors that are putting some money behind the bar for you. Food's not included (unless you would like to sponsor?). But Bedford's new menu will be available and you can order on the night. Stay tuned for the menu.

Plus, we'll have a feast for your ears with a lively musical accompaniment :)

Can I apply to do a lightning talk?
Yes! Just fill this in and we'll be in touch by 17 Nov:

You can talk about anything you like as long as it's super interesting, creative, different, and not a sales pitch. Check out some examples on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeNX-Db31c4&list=PLS1I8YdDdrj-o8NMDayBVe9WMF8r9CLM1
