Summary
There's a frost in the air, the Leeds Christkindelmarkt has covered Millennium Square and Amazon is quaking under the consumer onslaught. It's time once again for the Xmas Lightning Talks Competition - with real significant prizes. It's a quick fire evening of oratory with a fantastic line up of speakers plucked from the AY crowd and there'll be mince pies to set the mood, culminating in prizes for everyone and an overall winner voted for by the audience.
