- All presentations need to be informational and non-commercial in nature. This means focusing on technology and applications rather than a specific product. Strong preference will be given to those with strong technical backgrounds.
- Each speaking spot is 30 minutes in length. We generally recommend preparing 25 minutes to allow for 5 minutes of Q&A.
- This is a volunteer speaking position.
- While we provide full conference registration, which includes all meal functions, we are unable to provide subsidies for travel and lodging expenses.
