Gasta talks allow presenters 5 minutes, and 5 minutes only to speak, which means being economical with your words and getting to the point. In his unique style Tom creates buzz and energy by getting the audience to help count in and count out the presenters so they keep to time. Gasta has been running at ALT-C for the past few years and we continue our chat with him by asking what Gasta means and how to run one. Tom's blog - https://farrellytom.wordpress.com/ @TomFarrelly
