Monthly Lightning Talk Series

The WiGIS Professional Development Committee Presents a presentation series available to the public! Join us at noon Pacific on the First Friday of every month for a round of Lightning Talks. 

Lightning Talks are 5 to 10 minute presentations. Come to listen and/or sign up to be a presenter. These are open to everyone to present and/or attend - membership not required!

These are held remotely via Zoom. Simply register to attend and the Zoom link will be emailed to you.

If you sign up to present, consider yourself on the list* and get ready to share your project, story, or tips in a quick round of presentations (for the month you sign up for).

*If we happen to get more presenters than we have time for in an hour, we will connect with potential presenters with options.
