Our inaugural Light Club event was so much fun, we're doing it again. Welcome to NY.PM's "Light Club". The rules are simple:



1. Do not talk about Light Club



2. If it is your first time at Light Club, you must give a lightning talk!



This is how it works: all the talks are lightning talks (5 minute limit). We'll have a screen for slides if you have them. One by one everyone will be invited to give a lightning talk, on whatever topic they like. You can give more than one talk! (Ingy gave about 6 last time).



So if you want to get some presenting experience, have something curious or fun you want to talk about, a personal experience to share or any other reason, come join us! We promise a receptive and friendly audience.



Thanks to SocialFlow (http://www.socialflow.com/) and CTO Sam Kaufman for hosting us.



Lightning Talk Guide



You don't need to prepare slides (but you can).



The talk can be about anything, doesn't have to be Perl related. Open source, programming, internet, data and science-y stuff are good topics if you're looking for inspiration.



There is a 5 minute limit, but no lower time limit. You can give a 2 minute talk if you want.



You can give more than one talk (time permitting!)



Never seen a lightning talk before? Have a look at the !!Con (http://bangbangcon.com/2015/recordings.html) talks to get a feel for what they're about
