• Short abstract – maximum 100 words
• Length – ideally 20-30 minutes for the CheckMates track

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
