Following our conversation with Brent Ozar on how to improve session quality at community events, we will be introducing new guidelines to all submitted sessions:

  • We would require an uploaded slide deck for every submitted session. It doesn’t have to be the final copy by any means, but just whatever you’ve got.
  • Our Content Moderation Team will open, read, and recap your slides, as well as compare if they line up with the session title and abstract
  • If the slides don’t line up with the session title and abstract, we will ask you to change them. They should match what you’re teaching. Don’t feel bad about the change! Think of us as your session co-pilot.
  • If time permits, we will schedule an MS Teams meeting to go over your content and our feedback.

Our main goal here is to help speakers shine. In addition, we want attendees to understand their options. This helps them choose which session to attend.
