[PSA] Activate 2019 Call for Speakers ends May 8

[Trey Grainger <so...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to do a quick PSA for anyone who may have missed the announcement
last month to let you know the call for speakers is currently open
through *Wednesday,
May 8th*, for Activate 2019 (the Search and AI Conference), focused on the
Apache Solr ecosystem and the intersection of Search and AI:
https://lucidworks.com/2019/04/02/activate-2019-call-for-speakers/

The Activate Conference will be held September 9-12 in Washington, D.C.

The conference, rebranded last year from "Lucene/Solr Revolution", is
expected to grow considerably this year, and I'd like to encourage all of
you working on advancements in the Lucene/Solr project or working on
solving interesting problems in this space to consider submitting a talk if
you haven't already. There are tracks dedicated to Solr Development,
AI-powered Search, Search Development at Scale, and numerous other related
topics - including tracks for key use cases like digital commerce - that I
expect most on this list will find appealing.

If you're interested in presenting (your conference registration fee will
be covered if accepted), please submit a talk here:
https://activate-conf.com/speakers/

Just wanted to make sure everyone in the development and user community
here was aware of the conference and didn't miss the opportunity to submit
a talk by Wednesday if interested.

All the best,

Trey Grainger
