Got a Question?

Have a look at our frequently asked questions below.

How Do You Pick Speakers?

Speakers who would like to submit their name to speak can do so via a form that is open most of the year. A committee reviews all of the submissions through a double blind process and the top 30 are invited for an in person interview. The 12 speakers for our big event are selected and go through building great talks with fantastic speaker coaches.

What Time Does the Event Start?

Doors are at 3pm, the show starts at 4pm, a light dinner is served at 5:30ish and the event is over at 8pm. There is an afterparty that generally goes until midnight.

Do You Need Help?

The event has been run by a pretty small core group for a while and while we love help we often don’t need it. The biggest thing you can do to help the event is tell your friends about it! If you want to be more involved check out the volunteer page!
