VanRuby: Lightning Talks

​Join us for a series of lightning talks where community members will share quick, insightful presentations on their favourite tools, tips, and projects. It’s a great chance to learn something new and connect with fellow Rubyists!

​​About lightning talks:

​Do you have something you want to talk about? Bring your 5-10 minute talk and present it to the community.

​Key components of a lightning talk:

• ​Clear, focused topic – Stick to one main idea or takeaway.

• ​Strong opening – Grab attention quickly with a hook or question.

• ​Concise content – Keep it tight; avoid going too deep or off-topic.

• ​Practical insight or takeaway – Share something useful, interesting, or inspiring.

• ​Minimal slides (if any) – Use simple visuals to support, not distract.

• ​Personal touch – Share your experience, challenge, or enthusiasm.

• ​Call to action or closing thought – End with a question, tip, or invitation to connect.

• ​Stick to time limit – Respect the clock—5 minutes goes fast!

​Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of skill level or background.
