Feel free to replace a free slot with your topic.
I'd advise to take only
one, since other people may want to do the same :) If some slots are left at
the last minute, we will also accept spontaneous lightning talks.
Thank you. Alas, the only free slots now are at the same time as
something must attend. I'll see If I can grab one of the "on the day"
lots.
My preferred practice with lightening talks is to have them as part of
plenary sessions, before and after the main speaker, when everyone is
in one room. That way, the speaker gets to address everyone, but if
the topic is not of interest to some in the audience, then its not
long until a new one starts.
I have even done this with two-minute, or 30-second, slots, with some
success, at events I have run.
