  1. Speakers are welcome to submit multiple talk proposals.
  2. Topics can be technical or non-technical, and from beginner to advanced, but should be aimed toward a Rubyist audience.
  3. Talks will be 30 minutes in length.
  4. Talks should be delivered in English and in-person, in Asheville.
  5. Speakers must comply with the Code of Conduct.
