About Your Talk
Presentation Title *
Why Talks Need Titles: A Story
Track Preference *
In The Weeds (this is about how technology or software X will make Y possible)
Abstract (less than 100 words) *
Presentations at conferences are in desperate 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?
