Optional Friday all-day pre-conference sessions will be announced soon. There will be a nominal fee to attend one of the Friday pre-con sessions to cover speaker travel and facility costs. Pre-con sessions will be free to a limited number of WSUV students.
PNW Day of Data will be announcing additional details as we get close to the event. In addition, we will have our wonderful vendors available with new products, new knowledge, and new opportunities!

Some guidelines to help us (and you) with the selection process:
- If you are a returning speaker, please submit new and updated sessions. We value deep expertise and acknowledge that core skills are important, but we want to keep the schedule fresh and modern.
- If you are a New Speaker, please indicate so on the form and contact us directly to introduce yourself. We encourage new speakers but if we don't know you, you will likely not be selected. Linking to your blog, channel, LinkedIn profile will be helpful.
- Share information about where and when you have previously presented at other events. Last year we received an inordinate number of suspicious new submissions, so we need to know that you're legit and are an active contributor to the community.
