Lightning Talks

Lightning Talks is a fortnightly event series where group members give an informal talk on a topic of their choosing. Every fortnight, two community members wow us with a 5-10 minute talk and followed by a discussion of the topic they’ve raised. It’s very relaxed and lots of fun. Give a talk or just show up and listen, it’s up to you!

Sign up here to give an informal talk: https://​​forms.gle/​​R74RpL6XSVKu73Gc8

The talk can be about pretty much anything you like. You can explore something you don’t know much about (to help you get your head around it), provide a new angle on a topic you’re quite familiar with, or share something you’re already an expert on—there really are no strict rules here!

If you’re unsure what topic you’d like to tackle, feel free to give a talk using one of the below prompts:
- What are your biggest confusions for your career plans? Could you learn anything to help with that?
- Are there common ideas in EA that you disagree with, or don’t understand?
- Any ideas/​fresh takes you to want to present/​get feedback on?
- Is there a concept/​view you think more people should be aware of?
- What personal uncertainties do you have about cause areas, meta-EA stuff, etc.?
- Any topics you’re curious about, but never got round to digging into?
- Is there a possible Cause X you could dig into?
- Set a 5-minute timer, and list as many crazy talk ideas as you can. In the end, see if any are actually worth doing!
