Items to Include in Submission

All submissions must include the following information:

  • Presenter’s organization, job title and biography
  • Presentation title
  • Short abstract – maximum 100 words
  • Length – ideally 20-30 minutes for the CheckMates track
  • If applicable, please also include any links to previous presentations, slide decks, or papers
  • Please include an estimate of how ‘technical’ your presentation will be. The following rating will be used:
    • T1  = Very little technical knowledge required
    • T2  = Some technical knowledge is assumed
    • T3 = Largely technical and/or detailed content aimed at technicians
  • Presentations must be written in English

Key Disclaimers

It is important for presentations to avoid vendor/partner/sponsor specific  ‘product pitches/sales pitches’. If presentation proposals are considered to contain such material (product pitches/sales) they will more than likely be rejected early in the review process. Further, vendors are reminded that there is no linkage between conference sponsorship and the opportunity to present at the conference.

Proposals with real use cases from customers will be given priority in the selection criteria
