Lightning Talk (5 minutes)

Important deadlines for talks:

Submission deadline: Monday, October 27th

Confirmation: Friday, October 27th

Final program available: Monday, November 3rd

How To Submit

Create an account (or, if you have attended an Act-powered conference before, just log in to your existing account) and join the workshop. You will then be able to submit talks.

When To Submit

As soon as possible! For lightning talks, we will accept submissions even during the workshop, provided the sessions have not filled up. They can be a great way to respond to or comment on other talks that you have seen.

Speaker Benefits

Helsinki Perl Mongers do not have any funding so we are not able to sponsor your attendance in the conference. How ever we may try to help you to get here if you are able to speak on a particularly interesting subject.

The organisers can be contacted by email npw2014@frantic.com.
