Community
What past speakers said
It's an incredibly supportive environment that makes sharing your work feel less like a formal presentation and more like a great conversation.
The preparation over the past weeks and the coordination on the day itself were really impressive. It all felt smooth, supportive, and community-first.
As someone with little to no experience presenting, I felt supported and encouraged every step of the way.
The Call for Papers is open. Submit your talk before July 31.
