17.00 - 18.00 Lightning talks

Using AI + UX to boost learning, save time, reduce travel and have a more multicultural approach - a great lightning talk by Dafne Cipriani from Bestseller at UX Connect 23

As the name suggests, lightning talks give speakers a limited amount of time to make their presentation – no more than 10 minutes. They may or may not include slides.

Because lightning talks are brief, it requires the speaker to make their point clearly and rid the presentation of non-critical information. This, in turn, helps keep the attention of the audience. It also means many ideas can be presented in a short amount of time.
