Call for topics closing 1 October

The call for topics is closing 1 October at 23:59 GMT. We’ve had a fantastic set of submissions. Creating an agenda for the 2018 Summit is going to be very difficult because we’ve had so many fantastic sessions submitted and I don’t have enough slots to take them all. The call for topics is hosted by papercall.io – highly recommended – and the cut off is automatic. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY SESSIONS SUBMITTED AFTER THE CUT OFF DATE.

Summit agenda process

There’s been a lot of discussion on the Summit Slack channel around people proposing sessions for the 2018 Summit. I thought an explanation of how we put the agenda together would be useful for anyone thinking about submitting sessions. First off though – if you’re thinking about submitting a session for the 2018 Summit then JUST DO IT! We are reserving a number of sessions for new speakers, as we always do.
