We will be featuring student research and lightning talks during this Keynote presentation. We have identified a number of students (from high school through PhD candidacy) and we will be highlighting their work.
We will also be featuring lightning talks. Lightning talks are a great way for speakers to present something of interest to the broader developer community in 5 minutes! All speakers are welcome to propose their topic for the DevConf lightning talk track.
Lightning talks will use the following guidelines to create a fun platform for participants:
- There will be a lightning talk proposal white board in the lobby of the ballroom, so participants can give a short name (~50 characters) for the topic they are going to share.
- Attendees can give their vote to the talk(s) they are interested in, with each voter having up to three votes.
- At the end of the day on Friday, based on the available slots, the talks with the highest votes are selected and the speaker is informed they can present their talk.
