Lightning Lessons at ASPIRE

What Is a Lightning Lesson?

Lightning lesson presentations are short-form talks unlike traditional meeting presentations, panels or lectures. Each speaker gets seven 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.
