Monthly Talk Night: Lightning Edition!

For this night we'll hold lightning talks, in which speakers have five minutes to share projects, ideas, or principles of data visualization! Here's how it'll go:

• Each speaker gets five minutes at most
• We'll have 4 to 6 speakers
• We'll probably do Q&A at the end rather than between talks, to stay on schedule

Here are some tips (https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-tips-for-giving-a-lightning-talk-at-a-conference) on giving a great lightning talk. This is a great opportunity for both seasoned and new speakers alike, whether to hone an idea or as an initial test of an idea you'd like to explore further.

If you plan on speaking

• Please use this form (https://goo.gl/forms/x4tmZPNyO8nzwp0J2) to pitch it. If I get more than 8 pitches, I may ask people to vote or ask some people to do theirs at a later time!
• Submit slides by 5pm the night before, Wednesday 2/8!
