Lightning Talks To Remember
A History Lesson
Lightning Talks first appeared at PyCon (Python Conference) in 1997, at that point it was just called “Short Talks”. The name “Lightning Talks” was first coined by Mark Jason Dominus, one of the leading Perl developers, for a similar session at Yet Another Perl Conference (YAPC) in 2000.
Lightning Talks gradually became a meme at tech conferences and events, with varying formats according to venues, and time-slots usually ranged between 30 and 90 minutes for the session.
To make a Lightning Talks session exciting and rapid, the length of each talk is usually 5 minutes (varies between 1 and 10 minutes).
