Lightning Talks

Experience a series of rapid-fire Lightning Talks from your peers about their exciting innovations and applications that use GIS.

Each five-minute presentation will spark your creativity and get you motivated about the new ways to use GIS technology in your projects.

The deadline to submit a Lightning Talk proposal is March 2, 2012.

Guidelines

• Share one great idea—Tell a story, motivate, and inspire.
• Make it quick—Presentations must be five minutes or less.
• No live demos—We want to hear about the idea directly from you. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint, OpenOffice.org Impress, Prezi, or play a fixed-length video that you will use to support your talk. Please use only noncopyrighted images in presentation slides.
• Have fun!—This is your chance to share your passion for your great idea. For inspiration, read How to Give a Great Ignite Talk or watch a Lightning Talk on writing UNIX daemons to see how a seemingly dull topic can be made exciting.
