If you’ve been to a BONCL before you’ll know that we do have something of a penchant for the off-piste ideas, so nothing’s off the table (unless it’s a Code of Conduct violation, obvs).

We’re planning two tracks this year - main and rookie. By rookies we mean people who haven’t delivered a talk at a conference before, so hopefully that’s clear enough :) If you’re a rookie and would like a mentor, please do let us know. 

On the topical note of AI, if you’re using it to help you create your talk submission that’s totally fine, but we do expect you to at least make it sound unique.

All talks must delivered be in person, and as a community event we cannot cover any travel or related expenses. Despite saying this every year someone always seems to miss this point, so there will be a section in the submission form as a helpful reminder.

No sales pitches will be accepted, there are plenty of other conferences for that kind of malarkey.
