Q&A

Do proposals have to be tied to the conference theme?
No. While we are certainly seeking theme-related presentations, WSKW has always provided a venue for a broad range of topics to be presented.
When will we hear back regarding acceptance of proposals?
We plan to do our best to get word back by July 1st to those who submit proposals.
