Proposals will be considered until Saturday night, July 30 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

Session Recordings & Recordings
Each session will be recorded and will be available after the conference linked to each session in the program.
If you'd like not to be recorded, we recommend you turn your video off and ask questions via the chat.
Note for Speakers
A few items to remember:
- Review the screen share instructions above.
- Each session has a volunteer host with "Volunteer" in their name. Please ask them for any help you need with Zoom.
- If you have multiple speakers, they will be allowed to speak - just mute/unmute yourself.
- During the session, you can chat with participants in the Zoom room - we recommend you are posting to everyone and not privately so everyone can learn from each other.
- For any pre or post session discussion, please use the Snap! Forum post for your session.
- You can edit your session to add materials to share with your session attendees, update your abstract, and add an event subtitle.
- Add a profile picture to your account so your headshot can appear on the program with your event. Once you are logged into the Snap!Con website, you can edit your user profile.
