<p>Hi...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've done a couple of UpSCALE talks in the past. I looked on past years pages but couldn't find the old instructions. I do remember it was Gareth's project and that we had to get our slide deck to him by a certain deadline so he could get the whole thing
ready to go before the event. Also, as I recall, we only needed to submit a title in advance (maybe with a clarifying sub-title). The deadline to get the decks in was very close to the actual opening of SCaLE.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It seems having a separate instruction for it this year might clarify it for folks. You should be able to fit in 7 - 8 talks (that is what was done in prior years).</p>
<p><br>

<div dir="ltr">The CFP page has instructions on how to submit talks in general, rather than UpSCALE specifically. It applies to all programs at SCALE. With 12~ tracks at SCALE and half a dozen community events that need to get sessions into the SCALE website,
building a new page for each isn't ideal.
<div><br>
<div>Looks like have a few proposals already, so I think people are finding it? If you're concerned though could you take a stab and making changes to the text and posting it as a google doc or gist we can collaborate on?</div>
