Continuing with tradition, we'll also allow Racketeers to **nominate** speakers. Nominated speakers will be considered by the committee and contacted.

We will also accept nominations for a potential keynote speaker.

Talks will be 20-25 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions at the end.  Speakers' registration fees will be waived, but we are unable to cover transportation and lodging expenses.

The deadline for proposals is July 15th. Selected speakers will be notified by August 1st.
