SotM 2024 Lightning Talks

Do you want to hold a lightning talk during SotM 2024? Lightning talks are short presentations (maximum 5 minutes) about a topic related to OpenStreetMap. Since SotM 2024 will be a hybrid conference, there are two options for holding a lightning talk:

  • In person lightning talk in Nairobi
    • We plan to have at least 3 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.
  • Online pre-recorded lightning talk
    • We provide the opportunity to register and upload pre-recorded lightning talks.
    • The pre-recorded lightning talks will be played in a loop on a separate stage in venueless (the virtual conference platform we use), and on our website, potentially mixed with various other videos, so there should be plenty of space for pre-recorded lightning talks.
    • The deadline for the submissions of pre-recorded lightning talks is August 20, 23:59:59 UTC.

Just like in the case of regular talks, we can currently only accept both in-person and pre-recorded lightning talks in English.

If you use any slides during the in-person lightning talk, please upload them and any other resources to the respective upload folder on the OSMF Nextcloud instance. This is not required for pre-recorded lightning talks, but appreciated nonetheless. We also plan to publish these resources on our website.

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

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.
