We are also accepting proposals for practical hands on workshops and other topics of interest. We would also like to provide time slots for "Birds of a Feather" style sessions for discussions between like-minded interest groups. All sessions will be 60 minutes in length, including questions and answers. If you feel your session needs more time, please state that in your proposal as it may be possible to schedule your session as two breakout slots. Workshops can be offered either as pre-conference workshops on the 6th of November or during the conference. Workshops are expected to be hands-on, facilitating cloud based setups that we can provide in cooperation with Progress Software. Workshops should be a minimum of three hours in length. A full day workshop on the 6th of November is also possible. Speakers will receive a complimentary conference pass (max one speaker per session). Compensation for travel expenses will be based on the region the speaker comes from (max one speaker per session). Please indicate estimated travel expenses together with your submission. Speakers also delivering commercial presentations are not eligible to any kind of compensation for travel expenses. Conference passes for commercial speakers are expected to come from the pool of conference passes received by the commercial organisation for the sponsorship.
