What we're looking for Work you've actually done — a system you shipped, a result you got, a thing that broke and what you learned Research explained for practitioners, not for reviewers Honest founder and operator stories, including the ones that didn't work Hands-on workshop material where people leave having built something Session formats Format Length Notes Talk 18 min + 5 min Q&A The main format. Hard stop, visible timer. Workshop 60 min Parallel track, ~40 people, bring something to build Lightning demo 5 min Show the thing working. No slides required. What we won't accept Product pitches or sales decks. If the talk needs a logo slide, it's the wrong talk.
