submitting a proposal</a> for a Lightning Talk at this year’s <a href="http://imls.gwla.org/events-1">
Data Summit 2</a>. Lightning Talks are a fun way to share ideas and best practices about managing and sharing research data that don't warrant a full-blown breakout session. Successful proposals will show evidence of being lively, fast-paced and thought provoking,
while appealing to a wide audience. Topics can be practical or conceptual ideas and should showcase effective practices or highlight new projects in various stages of development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Each presenter will have <b>seven minutes total</b>. Slides may be used. There will not be additional time for audience questions, but the Lightning Talks will proceed our exhibit preview and reception,
so there will be opportunity to share conversation. All Lightning Talks will take place during the afternoon of Wednesday, May 28th, and be presented in a general session open to all attendees. We expect that, at maximum, seven Lightning Talks proposals will
be accepted for the conference. Talks will be timed to ensure sufficient time for all presenters. Talks with multiple presenters must adhere to the same seven minute time constraint.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
