NomadPHP Lightning talks

Every month I have the challenge of finding two speakers to do a 10 minute lightning talk on something PHP related (even adjacent). The past few months this has become increasingly difficult so I've created my personal wishlist. If you would like to add to this list please leave a message below. If you would like to give one of these lightning talks, please let me know by filling out our submission form: https://nomadphp.com/lightning-talk-submission/

I want to encourage new and veteran speakers. This is a great way for you to get some exposure and show conference organizers what you can do. Veterans can use Lightning Talks to test out new talk ideas or even different slide decks to see the audience reactions. Think of it as A/B testing your talks.

How do lightning Talks Work?

The best example is to check out the NomadPHP Youtube Channel and see for yourself!
