invite you to submit talks on the topics:

looking for presentations on the implementation of the systems themselves,
real world applications and case studies.

High quality, technical submissions are called for, ranging from

Acceptance notifications will be sent out soon after the submission
deadline. Please include your name, bio and email, the title of the
talk, a brief abstract in English language. Please indicate whether
you want to give a lightning (10min), short (20min) or long (40min)
presentation and indicate the level of experience with the topic your
audience should have (e.g. whether your talk will be suitable for
newbies or is targeted for experienced users.) If you'd like to pitch
your brand new product in your talk, please let us know as well -
there will be extra space for presenting new ideas, awesome products
and great new projects.

The presentation format is short. We will be enforcing the schedule rigorously.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event (e.g. we would be happy
to provide videos after the event, free drinks for attendees as well
as an after-show party), please contact us.
