Lightning Talks ⚡️

This month, we'll be doing Lightning Talks ⚡️ in-person at Clevyr! Join us for a free Tuesday lunch while listening to some awesome local speakers talk about all things dev-related.

Here's our current lineup (with one slot still available):

1. Geena Jackson - The Pomodoro Technique
2. Jonas Arroyo - The Value of Soft Skills
3. Stephen Vincent - Figma: Scaling Design Systems

But wait! What are lightning talks? We're glad you asked: A lightning talk is a short 5-10 minute talk over anything that you find interesting, and typically we have 3-4 talks total during a Lightning Talk meetup. Talk topics can range over a personal project, a new technology, or just something that makes you think "hey, I bet other people might like to know about this thing." It's a great way for you as an attendee (and speaker!) to learn about a lot of new things that you didn't know about before.

If you're interested in speaking (either now, or in the future), reach out to @thecodeboss (Aaron Krauss) or @Vincent (Stephen Vincent) in the Techlahoma Slack. Not a part of slack? Send yourself a free invite at https://slack.techlahoma.org.

Lightning talks are a great opportunity for first-time speakers to step out of your comfort zone and get up on the stage. If that's you, then we'd love to have you, and we'll work with you every step of the way to make sure you feel comfortable and ready to give your talk.

This meetup is in-person at Clevyr (where the food, drinks, and parking are always free), and will also be streamed live on Techlahoma's Twitch channel at https://twitch.tv/techlahoma.
