Your 5 minutes of fame at ProductCamp Toronto 2012

Lee Garrison — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 23:30:21 +0000

ProductCamp Toronto 2012 is re-introducing the “5 minute” talk to give more people the opportunity to speak and share their knowledge with others. These talks have been a great success in the past so we’re going to do it again! If you want to share your knowledge, but want a shorter format than the full sessions, then here’s your chance to present.

Enlighten Us, but Make it Quick!

Based on the very popular Ignite series of talks, — where the motto is “Enlighten Us, but Make it Quick! — these are 5 minute time slots for people who want to talk about something they are passionate about and can share with attendees.

The format is simple:

You have 5 minutes to present your topic
You don’t have to have slides, but if you do, you get 20 slides maximum that will forward automatically to cover the 5 minute time slot. e.g. 20 slides means 15 seconds per slide, 10 slides means 30 seconds per slide etc.
The topic should be related to the ProductCamp themes. i.e. related to product development, startups, product management, marketing, etc.

Don’t be shy. 5 minutes flies by quickly!

It’s only 5 minutes of your time, but you can impact a large audience. If you want to present a short talk, or want more information, please contact Allan Neil via the ProductCamp email productcamptoronto@gmail.com.

And if you want to see what it looked like last time, go to “2010 5-minute talks“.

We’re looking forward to your talks!
