⚡️ Writing an abstract for a lightning talk ⚡️

Read Original

This article provides practical advice for writing abstracts for lightning talks (5-10 minute presentations). It explains that a good lightning talk must be conceived as a short talk from the start, focusing on one or two key points. The guide details how to structure the talk's time, advises starting with a core 'elevator pitch' idea, and stresses that the abstract must be specific, engaging, and a clear reflection of the talk's concise content, using technical examples like Kafka Connect deployments.
