They aim to give new speakers the opportunity to gain confidence and improve their speaking skills in a safe, supportive environment while also helping to develop their public and digital profile. By offering just five minutes to speak, 300 seconds bridges the gap between attending events and speaking at them with a supportive first step. 

Lightning talks: 300 Seconds x Camp Digital

This year we’ve partnered with 300 Seconds to run a session of lightning talks, with the aim of giving new speakers from underrepresented groups the opportunity to gain confidence and improve their speaking skills in a safe, supportive environment.

It’s also a chance for up-and-coming talent to break into the conference circuit, and by offering just five minutes to speak, this session will offer a supportive first step for those wanting to make the jump from attendee to speaker.
