Talks on topics that are timely, interesting, or even a little crazy are invited.
To submit a Lightning Talk, please select the ‘LIGHTNING TALK’ option in the submission system.

Prospective presenters should note the majority of speaking slots will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC will retain a limited number of slots up to the final submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance.
