Lightning Talks

Call for Papers - Due July 2, 2009

A lightning talk is a ten-minute presentation on any topic of interest to the OOPSLA community. If you are a software developer working on an exciting project and you don't have the time to submit a full proposal for an entire session, Lightning Talks are a great way to gain exposure with the OOPSLA community and receive feedback on your ideas.

Please note that these talks are presented back-to-back with a strictly enforced ten minute time limit, so make sure that you can fit your presentation within this time span.

On-Site Submissions

A sign up sheet will also be available during the conference, so you can improvise a Lightning Talk of your own once you're at the conference. Note that slots tend to fill up fast, so we recommend you sign up in advance by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
