What your session submission should include

Describe the goals of your session, what makes your session unique for the attendee and why the attendee must attend your session.

Define the level of the session: is the content of your session Intermediate, Advanced or Expert? Please make sure to correctly define the session level, the attendees are really using the level as a reference to see if they want to attend your session or not.

Provide at least three key takeaways that help us to rate your session, but also help the attendee to decide to join your session!

All sessions are co-presented. There must be 2 speakers per session. Indicate your co-speaker during your submission, or let us know afterwards
