NERD Summit 2024 Session Submission
Use this form for submitting a session you would like to present: a talk, a discussion group, panel or propose another idea.  Choose training / workshop if your idea is longer and more hands-on than a session (more than 45 minutes). Please provide as much information as possible to help us understand the session. 
[Note: sessions are given in-person, not remote, and speakers are not paid, but do it for fun and fulfillment.]

Session type *
Talk - a presentation using slides, a demo, etc. 
Group Discussion - lead a discussion group on a topic
Panel - lead a panel (3-6 people) on a topic. 
Training / Workshop - normally half or full day and often hands-on.
Other - if you have other ideas on session type, please use this. 
If it is a training / workshop, is there a cost?
We plan to charge for all trainings: $50 for half day and $100 for full day. Those funds will go to the trainer.  However, if the trainer prefers it to be free, we will refund the attendees who actually attend.  The purpose of this it to get commitment from attendees who sign up for trainings. In the past we have had too many no shows on trainings.  If the trainer would like to charge a fee but less than $50 or $100 use the "Other" option and put the fee requested there.
