Cloud Lightning Talks

Idea

Kickstart short, unconference-style talks on technical topics / projects.
3 talks, 5 minutes each, in a session that lasts no longer than 30 minutes.

Why so short?

Short is all you need to start a conversation. Short also defines our modern day attention spans, and short is hard because this constraint requires you to think critically and creatively about how to convey only essential information.

Why it will work?

Language makes us human, and I believe we all love to listen to a story.
As a speaker you have an opportunity to teach, inform, and inspire others by expressing what you do and what you care for.
