A Lightning Round is a time-limited and slide-limited presentation format. The goals are to engage the digital inclusion community of practice and initiate networking at the conference. Think of it as a beacon to find the people you’d love to have a hallway conversation with.

There will be a total of four 30-minute Lightning Rounds during the conference. Each presenter is allowed a 4-minute presentation accompanied by no more than 5 slides. The Lightning Round sessions will be strictly moderated. Presentations may be grouped thematically by the Net Inclusion Planning Committee.
