The overarching them of the event is Creativity and Technology. Speakers are being asked to prepare talks that show the creative use of technology — beyond its originally intended application — with unexpected or unintended outcomes that are either good, or bad, or possibly unknown.
Talks that deviate from this theme may be considered, if it is felt that it fits harmoniously with the theme.
We also have a tertiary goal of 1/1 gender representation among our speakers.
