Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel. Please make sure to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. This will help us understand your speaking experience and delivery style. Blurbs or blog posts covering the relevance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled will help the Editorial Panel better judge your proposals.
We expect you to submit an outline of your proposed talk – either in the form of a mind map or a text document or draft slides or a blog post within one week of submitting your proposal.
You can check back on this page for the status of your proposal. We will notify you if we either move your proposal to the next round or if we reject it. Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
A speaker is NOT confirmed a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry to the conference is free for selected speakers.
As our budget is limited, we prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. Grants will be made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer).
*Speaker travel grants will be given in the order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Asia and Africa.
Deadline for submitting proposals: 18 Mar, 2017
Conference dates: 1-2 April, 2017

Life is about optimizing for happiness? How do we bring science into this? This talk is my journey where I tried to build habbits based data (collected in various ways from DNA analysis, CGM to Apps) optimized for happiness.
First walk-through the family history of dealing with Parkinson’s disease, Diabetes etc and my efforts to identifying habbits( like fitness, meditation etc and not just health as a factor) for happiness.
How did I go about changing things, building habits based on the data (like DNA Analysis, Continuous Glucose Monitoring, various Apps etc) , reading research papers. We will go through the tests I got done, data I collected and the results of it. Some conclusions from those tests.
Then we will go through the non medical modifications and habits I am trying to build and the effect of them on life and happiness in general.
We will conclude by talking about the future.
