Our conference events are open for anyone to speak about a topic that would interest our participants (the intersection of business and technology). In the past, speakers have presented on everything from community development, funding a startup, to operating systems, mobile development, web technology, and a whole lot more.
If you are interested in speaking at the Spring 2012 conference, you will need to arrive early on the day you wish to speak and secure your place on the schedule. Talks are not scheduled in advance, which is why you will not find a speaker schedule for the conference here on the website.
We will, however, post your name, a photo, and a short description of your talk below if you are planning to register to speak at the event. Please send your information to justin@goziggy.com and we will get your talk posted as soon as possible.
