Talk formats:

• 30-minute talks. This is a good chance to explain a topic at a high level
• 1-hour in-depth talks
• Workshops: An in-depth and detailed 60-90 minute workshop where attendees can get in-depth and hands-on training or experience with a product or technology

Some suggestions:

• New local presenters: You are the only one who can tell your story. We are very interested in the challenges and successes being experienced in our local area. You don't need to be an expert or professional speaker. We are happy to provide guidance/coaching for new speakers upon request
• As much as we value vendors and sponsors, please don't submit a talk that can be interpreted as a vendor pitch

We are extremely grateful to our speakers and appreciate the time preparing  and sharing knowledge to our community, unfortunately, we don't have a budget to pay or provide travel/accommodation to our speakers.
