Lightning talks - tell us what you're doing in IoT! We'd love to hear what projects people are working on, ideas they have, knowledge they'd like to share so this Meetup is going to be a bit different.

We're looking for 10 people who'd like to give lightning talks.

As a speaker, the lightning talk format tests your resilience and oratory skills. The timing of the presentation is strictly enforced! 5 minutes - that is all!

So I need 10 volunteers, please - first come, first served! Just message me with your talk title.

And of course everyone is very welcome to be in the audience!

(Thanks to Barrie Byron's blog for this) Tips for an entertaining, joyous, and informative lightning talk: 
- Get to the point quickly; invest no more than one minute on setup and background. 
- Select a relevant topic for the audience. 
- Share one great idea. 
- Tell a story; storytelling is universal and we all have a story to tell. 
- Show passion for an idea; spread your joy. 
- Share information but resist the temptation to explain in detail. 
- Use more pictures and fewer words; text at least 50 pts. 
- Plan on not using the first and the last slides, time flies when you’re having fun. 
- Don’t forget that the audience is on your side. 
- Remember that delivery is more important than content. 
- Be a star and get to Carnegie Hall. How? Practice, practice, practice. 
- Practice with a timer (there’s an app for that). 
- End strong and “power wrap” your lightning talk… restate your one great idea.
