Lightning Talks is back at Kübe. Short talks, ten minutes Lightning Talks is back at Kübe. Short talks, ten minutes each, then real questions, then the room opens up. This one is about the rules nobody wrote down. The things everyone living here learns the hard way: who you call and who you visit, what a yes really means, which habit from home stopped working. Our speakers each tell one true story about a rule they got wrong. The question for the night: which of your home rules did you drop here, and which did you keep? Bring your answer. The Q&A is the best part, and this room has people from all over, so expect different answers. Come as you are. Grab a seat, listen, ask a real question if you have one. Free entry, limited seats. Here is how the last one went: the Lightning Talks #4 recap and the event page. HOW THE NIGHT GOES 19:30, doors open. Settle in, grab a seat. Fill in a card if you have a rule to share. 20:00, the talks, ten minutes each. 20:30, the Q&A, moderated by Pedro. Scan the QR on screen to ask, anonymous if you like, or raise a hand. 21:00, open networking, with a glass of local red wine. SPEAKERS Lisa Jerahtina Founder and CEO of Redeco, a curated marketplace for pre-loved furniture, and host of the Redeco Room podcast.
