Announcing the Business of Software Lightning Talk Speakers

Lightning Talks follow a simple format – every speaker gets 15 slides and 30 seconds per slide to talk about a subject of their choice. The slides advance automatically.

Lightning Talkers have a special place in the hearts of the BoS audience and many people have made the jump to more speaking gigs at BoS and other events.

These are the brave souls taking on this year’s lightning talk session at BoS USA 2016.
