speed geeking 极速演讲

Speed geeking is a participation¹ process used to quickly view a number of presentations within a fixed² period of time. Speed geeking gets its name from speed dating, since they both employ similar techniques. 

“极速演讲”指的是在一定的时间内，快速进行数个演讲的参与过程。这个说法来自于“闪电约会”，两者都采用了相似的技巧。

 

A large room is selected as the speed geeking venue³. All the presenters⁵ are arranged in a large circle along the edge of the room. The remaining members of the audience stand at the center of the room. Ideally there are about 6-7 audience members for each presenter⁴. One person acts as the facilitator. 

首先要为“极速演讲”选择一间较大的屋子。所有的演讲者沿着屋内的边缘围成一个大圈。其余的观众站在屋子的中间。理想情况下每名演讲者对应大约6到7名观众。其中一人作为引导者。

 

The facilitator rings a bell to start proceedings⁶. Once proceedings start, the audience splits up into groups and each group goes to one of the presenters. Presenters have a short duration, usually 5 minutes, to give their presentation and answer questions. At the end of the five minutes, the facilitator rings a bell. At this point, each group moves over to the presenter to their right and the timer starts once more. The session ends when every group has attended all the presentations. 

引导者发出信号，开始整个活动。活动开始后，观众分成若干小组，每个小组去听一个人的演讲。演讲者只有很短的时间进行演讲并回答问题，通常为5分钟。快到时间时，引导者再次发出信号。这时，每组观众转向其右侧的另一位演讲者，计时再次开始。当每个小组都听取了所有的演讲后，活动结束。
