Lightning Talks ⚡ @Tribe Social Club

Come join us to share ideas, learn about odd topics / passions / curiosities, and meet interesting people. As always, the event is **free to attend**, but we appreciate RSVPs so that we can have adequate seating setup in advance of the event. The Lightning Talks format remains the same - anyone can sign up to give a talk, and will have **5 minutes** (strictly timed!) to talk about a topic of their choosing, followed by **5 minutes** of open questions from the audience. The only rule is no pitching of one's business - the ethos of this event is to inspire and educate, it is not a sales opportunity. Please respect this rule. We will have a projector as usual, for any visuals you'd like to include in your talk. We want to encourage new people who have never given a talk to try presenting. The bar is low and it's a receptive audience and a great way to wade into public speaking. We are a friendly, and encouraging crowd. We appreciate challenging questions when rooted in genuine curiosity, in an atmosphere of kindness and respect. If you want to present **please add yourself to the lineup via [our Telegram](https://t.me/+ZB0vzNhg5MtjZjM0)** \- or post in the event chat here on Meetup and we will add you if there are spots available\. Planned schedule 19:30 - First round of talks 20:30 - Break 21:00 - Second round of talks 22:00 - Mingle and discuss over drinks/snacks Please note: the event is free to attend but there is a €5 minimum spend at the bar. They have a full bar as well as soft drinks and snacks. This is on the honor system but please support the venue that supports us. **About the venue** Tribe Social Club is an event space, co-work, restaurant & bar in the heart of Lisbon, overlooking the beautiful Praça Luís de Camões that is focused on bringing like minded people together, for both work & play.
