  I tried it with:

  sub present {
    fork();
    present();
  }

  Something didn't work. I wonder what...

    They should fork themselves.

        I like hand-waving. That works for me.   :)  Are we presenting from our laptop, or from a projector? I.e., are the lightening talks simultaneous (aka "Speed Geek" [1] style) or one after another to the entire room?


      A projector. is usually available,

      And no, there are not simultaneous.  That would be too hard to listen to.
      (Sometimes I have trouble focusing on one thing at a time let alone 12!)
      And besides... those presenters that are giving TWO talks would have
      great difficulty giving them both at the same time!

      So... they are presented serially.

      ... one presenter... one projector... one topic... at a time.
