Selection Process

• When we read your proposal, we will be asking ourselves this: how will this talk will support the Ada Community? Will this information help advance the careers of people in our community?

• Topic and content will also drive the proposal selection. 

• Originality is encouraged.

• All proposals will be picked through a blind selection. We will anonymize all proposals so readers will not know who submitted the proposal(s).
