Planning to be in the city this weekend? Want to give a short presentation at one of the world's biggest hacker/maker conferences? I'm helping organize the Lightning Talks Track at this year's HOPE X. All are welcome to present, topics can be on anything relevant / interesting.

If you're interested simply email me or add yourself to the wiki page and we'll be in touch with more information. Even if you don't want to give a talk, I encourage you to checkout the conf schedule, it's looking to be a great lineup!

Happy hacking!
