Our conference is about working together and exchanging ideas. We also believe that diversity is an important part of this process and we would like to encourage everyone to submit their talks, especially people from groups that are underrepresented in IT.

You don't have to be an experienced super-star to be a speaker at a conference! As a part of this effort, we would like to offer help and guidance for inexperienced speakers to improve their abstracts and disposition of their talks. Feel free to mention that in the submission form, and we will do our best to help you. However, please keep in mind that we are doing this in our spare time, and our resources might be limited at times, but we can promise that we will still do our best to help!
