  • Please note that Town Hall Meetings & Side Panel Discussion are accepted on a first come first server basis. We have limited space in Seattle so submit a proposal as soon as possible. 

  • A confirmation email will be sent upon beginning and completing a submission proposal. This email will contain an ID and Password which will grant you access to update Side Panel Information so please save these emails. 

  • Recordings: Side Panel discussions offer the option to record. The panelist(s)/presenter(s) must be added to the people step of the form if a supplementary file will be presented during the panel. Adding this person creates an entry to upload to in advance.
