We use this information to contact you in the event that your talk is accepted or rejected. In the event that your talk is accepted, we will use this information to introduce you on our website, include your details in the talk schedule, issue you with an event badge and introduce you on-stage at the event itself.

This data will be hidden from the talk selection panel in the first round of selection. This ensures an element of anonymity and grants privilege to the talk, rather than the speaker.

We use this information to evaluate your talk for inclusion in our schedule.

The "abstract" is the primary field we consider, as a concise description of your talk. It's also the description of your talk that will be shown to our audience in the schedule, so try to make it as appealing and as accessible as possible.

We've also given you a "notes to the organisers" field to supply supplementary information about your talk. This will only ever be shown to the organisers and should be used to tell us about the level of experience you assume the audience has, who the talk is for, what the audience should be capable of after seeing your talk.

We use this data to ensure the diversity of our speaker lineup. This information will be hidden from the talk selection panel in the first round of selection. We will use it in the second round of selection to make sure people from underrepresented backgrounds are included in our speaker lineup.

This information will not be published to our audience, and it will be kept in strict confidence.
