Sessions (40 min, Oct 1 or 2, 2026)

• Title - many attendees will read only the title of your talk. It should contain at least one or two nouns that convey the topic, language, technique, or whatever you are primarily talking about. Many speakers submit titles that are two parts, separated by a semicolon, dash, colon, comma, or parens. In almost every case, the title is better if you delete one of those parts. Likewise, many speakers submit snowclone titles like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to FOO" or "FOO is the new BAR". Please try to avoid these.
• Description - should sell your talk to attendees (and reviewers). The abstract should answer the attendee's question "Why should I attend this talk? What will I learn?" Ideally this is 3-5 sentences. Please avoid personally identifying information as evaluation will be done in a blind review.
  
• Reviewer info - privately communicate to reviewers how you will deliver on the ideas conveyed in the abstract. For example, if the abstract says you'll learn 3 techniques for XYZ, say more about the 3 techniques here!
• Speaker photo - please include a clear picture of the speaker, not your cat or a cartoon, thanks!

We expect to notify speakers by the first week of July.
