WHO SHOULD SUBMIT

This is a chance to share about that thing you are really good at, just getting started with, or are excited to share experiences about. Looking for ‘The Next Big Thing’ takes all kinds, so that means you. Yes YOU. The person reading this

If you find yourself here and aren’t sure if you should submit, that’s a definite sign that we want to help you get your start.

Presenters are expected to bring their own devices, although it may be possible to work with those who only are able to bring slide decks. A limited range of adapters may be available, but better to plan to bring your own, just in case.

CONFERENCE TRACKS

While not limited to the following, the tracks will loosely adhere to the following themes:

In the Rivers (Technical & Detailed)

On the Bridges (Concepts, strategy, and industry challenges)

Thunderstorms (Lightning Talks)

ABOUT PRESENTATIONS

Talks should be around 40 minutes in length. This should leave time for questions or discussions, not to mention allowing a few minutes between talks.

Lightning Talks should be around 15 minutes with 5 mins for Q&A.

Here are some specific things we’re looking for in a good submission. Include these in the Description section below.

  • An outline of the talk (The more detail you provide, the more confidence we’ll have that you’re worth listening to.)

  • Have you given this talk at other conferences? If so, when & where?

  • Is your company name mentioned at all after your Bio slide? If so, what’s the context & why?

  • Are there any additional files or documentation you can link us to about your topic? (white papers, proof of concept, code, etc)

  • Ideal talks will have some sort of deliverable for the audience. Not cookies or beer (you can still bring cookies and we got the beer;) but something they can take back to their work or personal life and use TODAY. Practical actions, scripts, methodologies, commands, etc. that people can use after the talk and find value from – these are what the reviewers will be looking for.
