What Is a Lightning Lesson?

Lightning lesson presentations are short-form talks unlike traditional meeting presentations, panels or lectures. Each speaker gets seven (7) to minutes to present and may use a limited number of slides. The point of a Lightning Lesson presentation is to briefly present a main point on a single topic. This presentation format challenges presenters to delineate the highlights of their work and explain its importance in a very brief period. 

Lightning Lessons will be presented in a meeting room or foyer area near registration or the exhibition/poster area. HFES will promote your session on the mobile app. 

  • Aspire meeting attendee (non-commercial presenter, free)
  • Industry-sponsored Aspire exhibitor ($250/talk)
  • Industry-sponsored non-exhibitor ($500/talk)

The submission deadline is August 31.
