There are enough middle-aged straight white men like me speaking at conferences. That���s why the Global Diversity Call-For-Proposals Day is happening this Saturday, February 3rd.
The purpose is two-fold. One is to encourage a diverse range of people to submit talk proposals to conferences. The other is to help with the specifics���coming with ideas, writing a good title and abstract, preparing the presentation, and all that.
Julie is organising the Brighton edition. Clearleft are providing the venue���68 Middle Street. I���ll be on hand to facilitate. Rosa and Dot will be doing the real work, mentoring the attendees.
If you���ve ever thought about submitting a talk proposal to a conference but just don���t know where to start, or if you���re just interested in the idea, please do come along on Saturday. It���s starts at 11am and will be all wrapped up by 3pm.
See you there!
