TOORCON 19 CALL FOR PAPERS CLOSING THIS WEEK!

It's that time of year again! ToorCon 19 is coming so get your code finished 
and submit a talk this time around. This year's event has been pushed earlier 
in the year to the end of August, so make sure to save the new dates on your 
calendar. We're letting you decide if you want to be a part of our 50-minute 
talks on Saturday, 20-minute talks on Sunday, and 75-minute talks for our Deep 
Knowledge Seminars on Friday depending on how much time you need to present 
your new ideas and techniques. We evaluate our submissions in the order that 
they're received so submit your talk before time runs out!


CFP SUBMISSION INFORMATION

DISCLAIMERS

Please no vendor pitches or talks on old subjects. We try to keep ToorCon 
highly technical so please only submit talks on original research that isn't

slot may be asked to be reduced to 20-minutes if space on the lineup is 
limited. Compensation and travel expenses are not provided for presenters. You 
must notify ToorCon if you are in any way unable to make it to your talk after 
being accepted.
