• Say a few words about your experience and professional achievements and tell us why you are the best person to cover this topic.

We care about the quality of the content at the festival and want it to be as useful and interesting for the audience as possible. For this reason, talks must not include:

• Unverified or falsified data

Be sure to provide the following (if applicable):

We'll contact all applicants before March 20, 2026 to inform them about the committee's decision (even if the proposed topic didn't fit into the program).
