Don’t miss this chance to share your ideas, projects, and insights in a fun, welcoming space. Lightning talks are short (3–5 minutes) and can cover any topic you’d like—technical, personal, or just plain interesting.

**Need inspiration? Here are some sparks:**

* What side project are you working on?
* What’s a lesson you learned the hard way?
* What’s on your radar for the new year?
* Favorite Ruby/Rails (or other tech) feature
* A key takeaway from a book, blog, or podcast
* A demo of something you built or discovered
* What do you wish you knew five years ago?
* …or surprise us with your own idea!

**Agenda**

* **Networking & Registration (6:00 PM):** Kick off with introductions and light refreshments.
* **Welcome & Announcements (6:15 PM):** Brief updates and an overview of the evening’s format and a thank you to our event sponsors Ruby Central and GitHub.
* **Thundersnow Lightning Talks (6:30 PM):** Share your voice and hear from the community.
* **Open Discussion & Wrap-Up (7:15 PM):** Continue the conversation and connect with fellow Rubyists.

There will be snacks, sparkling waters, and a secret giveaway!
