Lighting Talks is GTALUG's version of an un-conference, a loosely structured short talks emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between participants, rather than following a conventionally structured GTALUG meetings.

If you already have a topic in mind please send an email speakers@gtalug.org to be added to the list of scheduled talks.

If you would like to give a talk during the meeting, all you have to do is write your name on a post-it and stick it on the whiteboard in the front of the room. When your talk gets selected, you will have five to present your idea, then five minutes of audience questions.
