PyData Berlin 2025

Lightning Talks
2025-09-02 , Kuppelsaal

Lightning Talks are short, 5-minute presentations open to all attendees. They’re a fun and fast-paced way to share ideas, showcase projects, spark discussions, or raise awareness about topics you care about — whether technical, community-related, or just inspiring.

No slides are required, and talks can be spontaneous or prepared. It’s a great chance to speak up and connect with the community!


⚡ Lightning Talk Rules

  • No promotion for products or companies.
  • No call for 'we are hiring' (but you may name your employer).
  • One LT per person per conference policy.

Community Event Announcements

  • ⏱ You want to announce a community event? You have ONE minute.
  • All event announcements will be collected in a single slide slide deck, see instructions at the Lightning Talk desk in the Community Space in the Lounge on Level 1.

All other LTs:

  • ⏱ You have exactly 5 minutes. The clock starts when you start — and ends when time’s up. That’s the thrill of Lightning Talks ⚡
  • 🎯 Be sharp, clear, and fun. Introduce your idea, make your point, give the audience something to remember. No pressure. (Okay, maybe a little.)
  • 🐍 Keep it relevant to Python, PyData and the community. You can go broad — tools, workflows, stories, experiments — as long as there’s some connection to Python, PyData or the community.
  • 👏 Keep it respectful. Keep it awesome. Humor is welcome, but please be kind, inclusive, and professional.
  • 🎤 Be ready when your name is called. We’re running a tight session — speakers go on stage rapid-fire. Stay close and stay hyped.
