Submit a Talk

We are looking for speakers for the Eclipse Day India. Submitted talks should relate to the event theme.

• Long Talk

A 60 minute talk including 10 minutes for Q&A. Presentation should go into detail and/or demonstration on a topic. A good talk requires preparation and a good pace; the audience is typically intelligent and well prepared and thus any introductory material should be very brief (less than five minutes).

A 30 minute talk including 5 minutes for Q&A. Ideal content would be topics that are easier to explain.

Lightning Talks come in at about 10 minutes long and are designed to get people excited about a particular subject and link them to more information about the subject.
