Do I need to submit a final title and description now?
With your proposal, you need to submit a final title and speaker information. The description can just include the outline of your idea that will help us understand your topic well. You will have time to finalize your talk or workshop details prior to the event.
I submitted my proposal. When will I hear back?
We will get back to you as soon as possible. If your proposal is accepted, you’ll receive an email from us! Note that sometimes we receive a lot of talk proposals, so then we have to select them based on the first come, first serve model. Nevertheless, we accept most proposals that are sent in so your chances are high.
Do I have to prepare any materials?
Yes! For both lightning talks and workshops, you will have to submit a draft of your slides for us to approve. The deadline for slide submission is August 23rd.
What if I am not a good public speaker?
Bear in mind that the talks are meant to be low-key and low-stress. We want to provide you with a fit platform to share what you love, so we encourage and welcome anyone to present! The conference team is happy to help you prep and practice if you’re worried about anything.
Do I need to memorize my speech?
Nope! Prepare your talk how you see fit! If you prefer to memorize it, create note cards, or have a word-for-word copy to read from, all options are acceptable.
