Got a side project you can’t stop thinking about, a tool you’re obsessed with, or a weird tech idea that lights you up? Passion Projects Lightning Talks is a fast-paced, high-energy night of 5-minute talks where curiosity beats polish and enthusiasm is the main requirement.
This event is for developers, designers, founders, students, tinkerers, and anyone in tech who loves building, experimenting, or learning; whether you’re actively working on a project or just want to be inspired by what others are creating.
To sign up to give a lightning talk, please email Bolt by February 19th at 1pm EST at

What to bring
-Bring your curiosity, your passion (and slides if you’re speaking), and an open mind.
-A laptop is optional, questions are encouraged, and good vibes are mandatory.
What you’ll get out of it
-Share your passion with a group of likeminded folks
-Learn from other folks’ passion projects
-Network and find community
You’ll discover new ideas and tools you didn’t know you needed, get inspired to start or keep going on your own passion project, and connect with people who care deeply about building things just for the joy of it.
