If you have something JavaScript related to share with your peers that you could say/show in less than 5 minutes, we want to hear you give a talk!
Have you been learning JavaScript and want to spend a couple minutes sharing something you learned? Did you find a library or discover a JS feature you'd like to share? Have an interesting method for learning or teaching JavaScript? Want to share something you made? Want to show off a niche feature of one of your favorite libraries?
We also have a wiki page with talk ideas that you can use for inspiration.
If you are unsure what to talk about do not hesitate to jump onto one of the chat channels and ask about presenting.
Once you are ready to submit a talk fill out our talk submission form
You will be presenting on a 800x600px projector so make sure to tailor your slides to that dimension. We try to livestream every presentation so practice slow and clear speaking.
Do's:
- Use a large legible font
- Use white slides with black text
- Practice your talk at home and time it
Don'ts:
- Use more than a few slides. We'd recommend 6
- Live code/demo for your first talk. It's really hard for a lighning talk.

Have an idea you'd like to hear someone give a talk about? We have a wiki page with talk ideas you can clone and add your ideas to it! Alternatively you can post suggestions to any of the chat rooms.
We do accept extended talks but prefer presentors to have done a lightning talk before. If your unsure please email us to discuss your talk.
