Submitters from 2012 can access the system using last year's credentials. A forgot your password feature is available. If this doesn't help you can contact us at program@torontoagilecommunity.org
Release early and often!
Send in your proposals early and use the feedback to turn it into the best possible session by the submission deadline on July 30th, 2013. Don't wait until the last possible moment to submit it, that's so waterfall.

FAQ
I use Agile but am not an expert, can I still submit a session?
Yes! As this is a local conference, we feel it is important to provide a stage for local presenters to find a voice and chance to share. We can even help to make it better, just ask for help!
What benefits do I get as speaker?
Up to 2 presenters per session get free admission to the conference.
I want to present in Toronto, but I live elsewhere. How can I pay for the trip?
We welcome you to our conference, but we cannot cover travel or lodging expenses. We opted for a low cost conference, and don't have budget to pay for speakers.
