[Hybrid] Technical Power Point Party

You know the PowerPoint party format: people present on something they care way too much about and the rest of us get to enjoy listening to them rant.
We're doing that, but make it tech.

Bring a 5 minute PowerPoint about anything tech adjacent. Something you learned. Something you built. Something you genuinely cannot stop thinking about. It does not have to be code. It could be a design system you love, a spreadsheet that changed your life, the ticketing setup at your job that makes you want to scream, an API you have strong feelings about, the tech in a show you're watching. If it connects to tech in some way, it counts.

This one is not just for engineers. Designers, PMs, QA, support, ops, marketing, data folks, students, career-changers: you all have something. Come talk about it.

How it works
- 5 minutes max per talk, with a slide deck
- Q&A after each one
- 10 minutes total per speaker, start to finish
- Decks can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. Funny, serious, chaotic, fully animated, or three slides you threw together on your lunch break. All fair game. Just keep it appropriate and not offensive.

Schedule
🚪 5:30 PM - doors open
🎤 6:00 PM - intro & first deck
🎬 ~7:00 PM - We will wrap up at 7 or when we run out of power points, whichever comes first.
🍕We will provide drinks and snacks.
