Lightning Talks 2026

Have a topic in science librarianship that you would like to give a 7–10 minute talk on? Great Lakes Science Bootcamp is now taking submissions for 2026.  

This year we are excited to offer options to present either in-person or online. 

• The in-person lightning talks will be presented July 8, 9, and 10 on  Indiana University Bloomington campus.

• The virtual lightning talks will be presented July 13 on Zoom.

Submit a Lightning Talk Proposal

Proposals for either format are to be submitted by Friday, April 10, 2026, and you will be informed of acceptance by Friday, May 1, 2026.

If for some reason you submit a proposal and need to change your proposal from in-person to virtual, or vice versa, you need to let us know by Friday, April 10, 2026. After that date, no changes will be allowed.

Contact Kristen Adams (adamsk3@miamioh.edu) if you have any questions about the lighting talks.
