SotM 2024 Lightning Talks
Do you want to hold a lightning talk during SotM 2024? Lightning talks should be maximum 5 minutes long talks and be about a topic related to OpenStreetMap. Since SotM 2024 will be a hybrid conference, there's two options for holding a lightning talk:
- In person lightning talk in Nairobi
- We plan to have several lightning talk sessions, each session will have room for 4 lightning talks.
- Registration will be on site at the SotM venue. Look out for a paper board.
- Pre-recorded lightning talk
- We plan to provide the opportunity to register and upload pre-recorded lightning talks, but haven't decided the details, yet.
Just like in the case of regular talks, we can currently only accept both in-person and pre-recorded lightning talks in English.
We expect that you will be available during the conference to chat with SotM participants about your subject, also when doing a pre-recorded lightning talk, either physically or virtually in the conference platform. If you like to have extended discussions with attendees about your subject, you're welcome to schedule a self-organized session - if you do so, please consider indicating this in your talk description and maybe also announce it during your in person lightning talk or in the chat inside the conference platform while your prerecorded lighting talk is broadcasted.

Registration for Pre-Recorded Lighting Talks
 | The registration for pre-recorded lightning talks is not open, yet, so please do not yet add your talk to the below table for now. |
Please add a line to the table below and prepare a 5-minute video with your talk. We recommend to read the how-to that we prepared for regular SotM talks. Once you recorded this video, you can upload it to our upload folder on the OSMF Nextcloud instance. Please name the file after the speaker name and talk title you added in the below table (format: <your name>_<title of your lightning talk>), this makes it easier for us to match them.
If we have questions concerning your lightning talk, we will use your OSM username to contact you, so please add it to the table.
| Speaker name(s) | OSM username(s) | Title | Short description of the content | Notes |
