Hi everyone,
A traveling event series called AlterConf, which brings together marginalized people to talk about diversity in tech & gaming beyond a 101 level is coming to Atlanta on February 28th. They have an open call for speakers and have reached out to us to see if anyone is interested. Submissions are due 1/15 and the event is on 2/28. They also pay all of their speakers! It is expected that the panel of people choosing the talks for the event will have answers back to submitters by 1/20. For more information go to http://alterconf.com/speak. They have videos from their Boston and NYC events to their website, so you can see the kinds of things that people have been speaking about :http://alterconf.com/speakers.
I would love to see several folk from our community participate in this event. I'm even considering a talk myself! :-)
Cheers,
Marcellus
