After the submission deadline, we will give prospective attendees the opportunity to let us know which sessions they would be likely to attend. This community feedback will be one factor in the Program Committee’s selection process. The committee will also weigh other criteria in the selection process, including accommodating the needs of the various audiences attending the conference.

I invite everyone in the community to start reviewing the proposals that have been submitted. If you have been on the fence about submitting a proposal on a particular topic and don't see that topic addressed in the current batch of proposals, now might be the time to pull your own proposal together.
