No. There're two kind of different events: Open Spaces and Lightning Talks. A lightning talk is a presentation, in only 5 minutes, usually with a very few slides or even alive (demos, code over an interactive interpreter). There's a big enforcement in the 5 minutes, and after each presentation, when the person answers two or three questions, the other expositor is already changing the laptop in the projector. An open space is of 30 minutes, and the idea is to sit with other people in a part of a room to discuss something. .
