The Utility 2030 Collaborative (U2030) is thrilled to announce its lineup for this year's Ignite Talks at the U2030 Annual SPARK Meeting (SPARK), which will be held September 16-18, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee.
gnite Talks are one of SPARK's most eagerly anticipated presentation formats, offering a dynamic alternative to traditional PowerPoint presentations. These talks challenge speakers to convey a powerful idea closely aligned with the event's theme in just 5 minutes. With 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds and feature only images or minimal text, the format ensures a fast-paced, captivating experience.
This year's Ignite Talks align with the event theme, "Transformative Leadership at the Intersection of Customers and Operations." Speakers craft talks to inspire, provoke thought, and ignite action, encouraging speakers and audiences to connect through a brief yet impactful presentation.
