Lightning Talk Workshop
summary
Hands-on workshop that leads participants from brainstorming to a scripted five minute presentation then partnered practice with timing, feedback and a clear call to action; warns that live demos often fail so bring backups like a USB and that a 5‑minute script is roughly 650 words. Gives a concrete example: PyCon Poland promo that runs exactly 5 minutes, grew from ~100 to ~200 attendees and plugs a friend’s open source podcast service g.net built on Django with no database.
