Why Talks Need Titles: A Story
Track Preference
In The Clouds (this is about my experience as a .....) or
In The Weeds (this is about how technology or software X will make Y possible)
Keywords and Abstract (200 words max)
Abstract: Presentations at conferences are in desparate need of titles. Without them, how would we ever know what talks are supposed to be about? I had the most interesting experience trying to submit a talk without a title once... and this is the story about how I quit worrying and learned to embrace the Title. In fact, it's had an amazing impact on my life and that's what this talk is going to be about. Riveting stuff, right?
Keywords: Titles, topics, life experiences
Bio: Jim Dandy has been fascinated with titles for a whole five minutes, just now. In his day job he works to promote sunbeams and rainbows as part of Cats Without Catnip. In his spare time he enjoys palindrome humor and practices butter sculpture to keep his mind fluid.
