SES Toronto Speaking Pitches - Now Open

Want to speak at SES Toronto? Due to the limited number of time slots, proposals for new sessions are already closed, but we're now eagerly anticipating your pitches and proposals to participate in the announced sessions listed on the SES Toronto Conference Agenda here.

Timelines:

Event: June 8-9, 2009.

Deadline for proposing a new session: Sorry, already closed.

Deadline for pitching to speak: April 15, 2009. Earlier is helpful to us, however.

A reminder that even if your great-great-great-grandfather invented a steam-powered search engine in the 19th century, and even if we are in a bowling league together and you once let me win, you still have to submit your proposal through the form! This really helps us to stay organized.

(It's a trick question anyway. I don't bowl.)

Further info: speaking guidelines are here.

The speaker submission form is here.

Candidates with demonstrated expertise in the subject matter of their panel always have an advantage at selection time, but a creative take, devil's advocate position, or particularly compelling case study will also get close consideration.

Thanks in advance for your interest, and see you in Toronto!
