At this year’s joint CAA and ASA AGM and Conference in Canmore, we are holding a special “Lightning Round” paper session.

Presenters have FIVE (5) minutes to speak to the audience on a topic of their choosing related to archaeology. It can be any topic, even if only very loosely related to archaeology, the CAA, or the ASA.

However, presenters must follow strict rules, and the time limit will be aggressively enforced! Each presenter must submit a PowerPoint presentation beforehand with exactly 15 slides. Once the moderator says “go”, the slides will automatically advance every 20 seconds. There are no pauses, no restarts, and no time extensions. The frantic pace of the presentations makes for an exciting and fun-filled session!

Space is limited.
