AIARD Annual Meeting-Lightning Talks
Our 2015 Lightning Talk Presenters
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 submit a proposal for the Lightning Talks segment of the program.
2020 Lightning Talk Proposals are being solicited on topics related to the Conference theme: Making Food Safe: Meeting the Global Challenge.
Lightning Talks are fast-paced, highly energetic delivery style talks. 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. Presenters will also have an opportunity, if desired, to publish a summary of their discussions in AIARD blog.
The Lightning Talks will take place on June 1, 2020 during the 56th AIARD Annual Conference.
