Berlin Buzzwords - Call for Submissions

Can I change my session after I have proposed it?

dbe — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:19:53 +0000

You will be able to change the session proposal at any time. Though if you change it after the Call for Submissions deadline on February 1, 2015 you should notify us. We will in turn notify you if we think your session proposal needs a rewrite before we can publish it.

My session is not published. Did you get it?

dbe — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:16:52 +0000

As long as you can access your session from the dashboard, it is saved and submitted correctly. You don't need to do anything else. Your session will be published once we accepted it for the conference programme. But no worries, we'll inform you via email before we'll publish it.

When does the content of my session need to be ready?

dbe — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:46:22 +0000

On the day your session will take place. We do not need your finished presentation but your short session description will be published online. We’d suggest making the short description informative and well formulated when submitting, in order to get readers interested in your session. Also, make it short but sweet (hardly anyone reads more than half a page, so your session's description is limited to 2.000 caracters).
