###what I need from you

Send me an email with:

1. Confirmation you want to speak, and a preference (morning, afternoon, or either)
2. Your talk Topic: This is very open. You can talk about: your past work, the history of a field, a teardown of a project, an open letter to attendees, anything really! The talk should be 20 minutes long. There are 30 minute blocks to allow for setup and talks that run long accidentally.

Example email:

Hi Bill!

My topic is:

The history of random numbers

I prefer:

morning

Thanks!

Signed, Awesome Person

###what you will get for this

1. Money! I have budgeted $100 to be paid for each speaker. I will also buy you food carts for lunch if you like. If there is more money left over I will give the speakers more money.
2. Slick exposure you control! I have hired a videographer to record the talks, and do a short interview with you. You have final say on anything posted. The videos will live on a vimeo site and the 2015.code-art-festival.com page.
