Why lightning talks?

Our mission for this meetup is to foster community and help people learn and grow professionally. That said, lightning talks are a great way to get started with public speaking. If you've never done a talk before, this is a great way to get started. Just stand in front of friends (yes, we're all friends here) and share something for five minutes. Any dev-related topics are welcome by the way!



For this event, we chose the best talks with a small bias for people speaking for the first time at our meetup.



Food

Per usual, food will be served! Probably pizza or something.
