* SPECIAL UPDATE: As of 2026-02-12, a bug in Papercall is preventing submission of talks to our conference! When trying to submit, it will say there is an error in your form, when no actual error exists. We are working with support to resolve the issue. In the meantime, please build your talk using “My Talks” in the main menu, then “(+) New Talk” button. When the bug is fixed, you will be able to import it into this page via the “Select an existing talk” dropdown box.*
