A Quick Note on Talk Submissions

Once again, we’re offering two talk formats this year:

  • Full Talks – 45 minutes
  • Lightning Talks – 20 minutes

When submitting, please include enough detail for reviewers to make thoughtful, informed decisions. An outline-style format is strongly encouraged. It helps us understand your flow, depth, and intent without guessing.

And please, please include Key Takeaways. Reviewers love them. Participants love them. Future-you will love them when people know exactly why they should come hear you speak.

One very important reminder: our review process is anonymous. That means no identifying information in titles, abstracts, descriptions, footers, easter eggs, or “subtle hints.” If we can figure out who you are, we have to score it down, and nobody wants that.

** Yes, put your bio info in the BIO section of the submission - that's looked at AFTER the reviews!

Bring your best ideas. Be clear. Be bold. Be kind to your reviewers!

Good luck, we can’t wait to read what you submit!!
