Programme

We received 640 talk proposals this year and accepted 24. What the good rejections had in common, and how to pitch us for 2028.
WORDS BY
Pieter Vos
We read every proposal, usually twice. This year that was 640 of them, and the programme has room for 24.
Most of the proposals we turned down were good. The common reason was that they described a career rather than an idea. A talk called 'My work' is harder to place than a talk called 'Why every render needs one mistake'.
If you want to pitch for 2028, send one title, three sentences and one image. We reply to everyone by the end of October.
