We invite submissions for lightning talks: short and engaging presentations of maximum 5 minutes, focused on a single key idea.
Your talk can take many forms, such as an innovative idea or concept, a successful project or use case, a short demo, a lesson learned, a challenge or call for collaboration.
All topics related to your collaboration with Belnet and its services are welcome, including connectivity, cloud, identity & federation, security, or any outcome enabled by Belnet services (e.g. research projects, collaborations, or technical implementations).
