  1. A lightning talks is brief (5 minutes) which requires the speaker to make his or her point clearly and rid the presentation of non-critical information. This causes the audience to be more attentive to the speaker<\/strong> and gain a broader array of knowledge from the presentations given. It’s like Youtube vs full length movies! (src<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. Lightning talks originated and evolved in the tech world. They are also known as Data Blitz<\/strong>, at times! Makes sense you should so one at WordCamp.<\/li>\n
  3. Delivery is considered more important<\/strong> than content of a lightning talk. (src<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  7. It’s a great way to start for first time speakers because it doesn’t require a lot of formal preparation<\/strong> except practice, practice and practice!<\/li>\n
  8. It is especially great for first time speakers of WordCamp Pune because yyou don’t have to think of a “topic”<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  9. Similar short and fun formats are Ignite talks and Pecha Kucha. So, you could create crossovers that could be more fun<\/strong>! For eg, you could talk about 20 best posts from your blog in 5 minutes. Maybe next WordCamp! (src<\/a>)<\/li>\n
