To reiterate

Session types

  1. Classical Fifthel data talks - what you learned or what failed - and introspections filled with techniques and fewer jargons. We explicitly seek unfinished work — failures, WIP, unexplained results, datasets looking for questions
  2. Showcase - show an innovative idea you are working on. Your idea needn’t be in production. Just use the stage time to tell us why it is a cool idea. Toot the horn, maccha, in 20 minutes only!
  3. Reverse engineer your submission by telling us about a problem you are working on - and who/what you seek in terms of ideas and expertise. If the Three Musketeers like it, your idea may stick on the problem wall, and may find more hoomans and their shoulders.
  4. Facilitate a Birds of Feather (BOF) session - say it in more than words. We’ll get you a whiteboard, a flipchart or anything you need. Heck, even a spaceship, if that’s possible to land at the venue.
  5. Poster sessions - show your WIP/project visually, in the alleyways. We are looking for application of concepts to problems/scenarios in industry, society, economy and even the Silo world!

Not sure about which session fits your work? Just submit. You will receive suggestions, feedback and perhaps, even more questions.

Deadline

  • 30 September for talks and showcase.
  • Infinity and beyond, not really. If the rooms aren’t filled with BOFs, then you get some space, even if we have crossed 30th September.
