Have you been looking for an opportunity to give a talk? This is your chance. We're doing Lightning Talks!

What is a Lightning Talk?

A lightning talk...
... is a 5-minute talk on any topic, technical or not
... is often about something cool you just learned or some open source software you wrote.
... can have slides but it's not required
... doesn't need to be prepared, but could be
... can be given by ANYONE, even someone totally new to Python!

First-timers & first-time speakers are always welcome. Multiple talks per person are allowed (just make sure everyone else has a chance first!) Please no marketing pitches.

All attendees & talks must follow the NYC Python Code of Conduct, which governs all our spaces online & off. https://www.meetup.com/nycpython/messages/boards/thread/51565172

How do I give a talk ?

Signing up in advance isn't required -- if you'd prefer, just show up & talk. The sign up sheet can be found here:

Is this event recorded ?

Since we are on Zoom, we will offer to Record your talk, to be posted ... somewhere ... Likely once we get a few we'll put them on a YouTube channel. But Recording is strictly opt-in -- you should not feel pressure to be recorded!

Q&A is generally not recorded, & as an audience member your name may be -- but is generally not -- visible, so take any precautions you need to feel comfortable, like turning off your video or changing your screen name.

Event details

Join / announcements / get organized at 6:15pm, First talk starts at 6:30; event ends at 7:30.
