Each new speaker will be paired up with a buddy/mentor, who will provide them with highly valuable tips & tricks. Even more so, we'll provide new speakers with all assistance they need and want whilst preparing for their debut.

Submitting as a new speaker, means you agree to meet with your buddy/mentor and collaborate on your session.


SUBMISSIONS:

Four submissions are allowed per speaker and multiple (unique) sessions are encouraged to be submitted. Up to three co-speakers are allowed per session submission. Submitted sessions are viewable publicly on the Sessionize platform. More than one submitted session may be accepted into the conference agenda. We aim to have around two sessions presented per speaker for speaker-management purposes.


BROADCASTING:

In general, conference sessions will be recorded to YouTube and may be broadcasted to Youtube and other platforms at a later date. Attendees will be given links to sessions specifically for post-conference viewing and Sessions may be released at a later date for MCT Community benefit.
