Lightning Talks ⚡💡 @Tribe Social Club

Come join us to share ideas, learn about odd topics / passions / curiousities, and meet interesting people. As always, the event is **free to attend**, but we appreciate RSVPs so that we can have adequate seating setup in advance of the event.

The Lightning Talks format remains the same - anyone can sign up to give a talk, and will have **5 minutes** (strictly timed!) to talk about a topic of their choosing, followed by **5 minutes** of open questions from the audience. The only rule is no pitching of one's business - the ethos of this event is to inspire and educate, it is not a sales opportunity. Please respect this rule.

We will have a projector as usual, for any visuals you'd like to include in your talk.

We want to encourage new people who have never given a talk to try presenting. The bar is low and it's a receptive audience and a great way to wade into public speaking. We are a friendly, and encouraging crowd. We appreciate challenging questions when rooted in genuine curiosity, in an atmosphere of kindness and respect.

If you want to present **please add yourself to the lineup via [our Telegram](https://t.me/+ZB0vzNhg5MtjZjM0)**
\- or post in the event chat here on Meetup and we will add you if there are spots available\.

* **[Tell your story](https://join.lightningtalks.club/)** on **[our member hub](http://lightningtalks.club/)** and see who shares complementary passions, curiosities, hobbies and professional interests.
