Lightning Talks

We'll be starting right at 6:00 and need to be out of the space for another event at 7:00. Please try to come on time and be out of the space in time for the next event to start. Feel free to chat with other attendees at nearby restaurants or breweries after the meetup!

If you would like to give a 5-15 minute lightning talk, contact the group leaders through Meetup or Techlahoma's Slack. We would be glad to give you topic ideas and presentation tips!
