AIARD Annual Meeting-Lightning Talks
The Planning Committee for the upcoming AIARD Annual Meeting is pleased to invite AIARD Members and others in the international agricultural and rural development community to participate in Lightning Talks during the upcoming annual meeting during the session on Innovation in Comprehensive Rural Development.
Lightning Talks are a fast-paced, highly energetic delivery style. Lightning Talks are 5-minute presentations, with exactly 20 PowerPoint slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. When one presentation ends, the next one begins. Presenters will then facilitate round table discussions with attendees for more in-depth discussion.
The Lightning Talks will take place on June 2, 2015 from 9:00-11:30 a.m.
