Madison Women in Tech: Crafting Lightning Talks

Madison Women in Tech: Crafting Lightning Talks

Meeting Room 302
Thursday, Feb 20, 2025, 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Note: This workshop is intended for women and nonbinary individuals and is hosted by  Madison Women in Tech 

Are you ready to build your public speaking skills in a fun and empowering environment? Join us for our hands on lightning talk workshop!

We’ll start with an introduction to lightning talks including tips and tricks for creating one. Then we’ll dive into a working session where you’ll brainstorm and draft your own lightning talk. Mentors will be on hand to provide guidance, feedback, and support throughout the process. Finally we’ll present our drafts to a group of supportive peers and gain valuable experience in public speaking, all in a welcoming and encouraging setting.


No prior public speaking experience is needed. While the content will be focused on technical talks, you can speak about any topic you are passionate about–you are “technical enough”.
