Commons Lightning Talks [members & +1s]

​Lightning Talks at the Commons is an evening of stories and presentations from the community in a quick 7-10 minute format. It's a chance to hear what people are working on or dreaming about - from authentic personal stories, hobbies, or that one weird thing you know a ton about and would love to share with the world.

​If you're wondering if your idea is a candidate for a lightning talk... the answer is almost certainly yes! Examples of past ones that I've attended have included:

• ​how to pick the best wines at a grocery store

• ​how Americans lost their British accent

• ​one person's journey to becoming a designer

• ​how to understand Finnish meme culture

• ​a live demonstration of how to shoot fireballs from a flaming whip

• ​what we learn from airplane crashes
