Got a project you can tell us about in 5 minutes? Tell us about it in a lightning talk at NYC DH Week (kickoff event February 6)
<strong>Deadline</strong> to submit is Friday, February 3, at 9:00 a.m. If accepted, your talk will be given at the NYC DH Week Kick-off Event, Monday, February 6, sometime between 1:30-2:30 PM. You’ll know if your talk is accepted by the end of the day on Friday.
<strong>How it works: </strong>

With such a short length of time, you’ve got to plan your talk carefully. Your statements should be succinct, and your slides should be snappy!
