Proposal review process

Proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee.

Each submission will be rated on a variety of factors including the likely level of impact and expected outcomes; expected community interest; and how well-connected the submission is to the theme or a focus area. Committee scores are averaged, and the top portion of submissions will be accepted as they fit into the schedule.

If there are multiple similar submissions on the same topic, the program committee may suggest combining these submissions

You will be notified about the Program Committee's decision regarding your submission via email.
