Conference: XTech 2008 held at Radisson SAS Royal Hotel, Dublin, Ireland, from May 6th to 9th, 2008.

Session: 20:20 Lightning Talks, on Thursday May 8th, 2008.

Session abstract: 20:20 lightning talks are short presentations designed to be a fun, interesting and compact way for many ideas to be communicated in a short space of time.

The 20:20 format encourages highly focused, fast-moving presentations, and helps to keep audience attention riveted on each presentation, to keep things a bit unpredictable and surprising, and to keep presentations “fat free” without any lulls.

Maybe you have a new idea you’d like to try out, or a new project you’re starting. A lightning talk is a great way to tell others about it without the burden of a full presentation and paper!
