Call for Papers: Ignite Talks on “Data (Horror) Stories”

Share Your Data (Horror) Story! We are seeking captivating Ignite Talks (5 minutes, 20 slides) about your most thrilling, terrifying, or funniest experiences dealing with data. Show us your insights, mistakes, and the lessons learned.

What is an Ignite Talk?

An Ignite Talk is a fast-paced and dynamic presentation format designed to capture the audience’s attention in a short amount of time. The essential characteristics of an Ignite Talk are:

  • Time Limit: The presentation lasts exactly 5 minutes.
  • Slide Change: 20 slides are used, which automatically advance every 15 seconds.
  • Conciseness: Due to the strict time and slide constraints, the speaker must present their content precisely and focused.
  • Entertaining: Ignite Talks are often entertaining, stimulating, and to the point, aiming to quickly inform and inspire the audience. This structure forces speakers to formulate their message clearly and succinctly, making the talks particularly memorable. Ignite Talks are ideal for conferences and events where many different topics need to be covered in a short amount of time.
