Message updated to reflect proposal deadline extension to May 8 (originally May 1).
Hello One IT Community,
If you plan to submit a session proposal for UC Tech 2022 at UC San Diego, now is the time! Session proposals are due this Sunday, May 8. Not only will session presenters get bragging rights, but they’ll also receive free admission to UC Tech 2022 for one member of their team! Only 17 session proposals have been submitted so far, and none are from UC Berkeley - yet!
Submit your proposal now using this short Google form.
UC Tech fully embraces both new and experienced speakers and will feature a mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced-level sessions. Sessions should be talks of interest to the tech community, and UC Tech organizers take a pretty broad view of what that means. If it’s interesting to you, chances are they’d love to see it.
The theme for UC Tech 2022 is Shoring Up Connections: 40 Years of Conversation, Innovation, and Collaboration. If your proposal highlights how your particular tech helped “shore up” connections (by connecting students, faculty, or research) it will take priority over other proposals.
