the method for selecting Lightning Talks and Alternates. Each track will also have a set number of alternates. If a presentation is selected as an alternate, they will have the opportunity to present their session as a lightning talk (10 minutes); however,
if a full breakout session speaker cannot present, alternates will be selected based on the order in the Team List within the Track Chair tool. This is in an effort to ensure that Alternates are onsite in the event they are needed, as well as giving Lightning
Talk presenters a better shot at giving a full presentation.<o:p></o:p></p>
