The call for proposals is now closed.

As the premier East Coast Mac OS X and iOS system administration conference, we are looking for the best possible speakers to deliver engaging, insightful content to our attendees. If you would like to submit a proposal to speak at our event, please fill out the form at the link below. We are looking for 75- or 150-minute sessions (including Q&A) in either a traditional lecture format or in a lab format with a 2:1 attendee to computer ratio for hands-on presentations. Feel free to submit separate proposals if you would like to speak on multiple subjects.

All session rooms will have VGA and audio input for the presenter, as well as a wireless lavalier microphone. Presenters will need to bring their own computer and corresponding VGA adapter.
