The Program Committee for NDN2024 invites you to propose a lightning talk for the 32nd NORDUnet conference in Bergen on 10th-12th September
Lightning talks are five-minute presentations focusing on one key point; this can be an idea, a successful project, a cautionary story, an invitation to collaborate, or even a quick tip.
Lightning talks are mainly for those that want to get feedback on an idea or (preliminary) results – or even first-time speakers. It is also a way to reach out to a broader audience.
Our Lightning Talks session chairs Gyöngyi Horváth and Erik Kikkenborg have no doubts about the value of this type of presentations. “If you present a minuscule technical detail which is highly relevant, but only to one or two in the audience – no problem, everyone else will know that in five minutes somebody else will take the floor and talk about something completely different with a broader appeal”.
Use the time wisely to present the pertinent message of the subject matter without the need for background history, the problem space, or a business-case justification.
If (with emphasis on “if”!) you want to use slides, make sure they are clear, light, and not too many (typically one or two will do).
Submit your lightning talk proposal(s) stating speaker name, affiliation, title of talk, and a very brief abstract (fewer than 100 words) to lightning@ndn2024.net, to where you can also address any question you may have.
The submissions deadline is 25 August, 2024
We look forward to reading your proposals and seeing you in Bergen.
Vidar Faltinsen, Chair of the Programme Committee and Josva Kleist, Co-chair
