Hi folks, I’m considering whether I should organise and run a Crystal user conference before the end of the year. Here’s what **I’m thinking** **How** - fully remote, but 100% live - 100% free, but possibly sponsored - one day, single track (total run time ~5 hours) **When** - Friday, 11 December looks like a decent date to run this. - target timezone: PDT and CET friendly **What** - one keynote - 5 relatively short talks (~25 minutes) - one panel discussion Questions for **you** - how are you feeling about this? - would you be interested in attending? - would you be interested in speaking at the conference? - could you help me spread the word? ---

I think it’s an amazing idea. Of course I would attend! ---

Well great, thanks for the feedback, then let’s do this! # Step 1: Talk submission. You can submit your talk proposal [here](https://forms.gle/tDSfrTQuWhSVmQo4A). I’ve included some FAQ. Please, spread the word! Once I get a few submissions I’ll open the registration for the attendees. Meanwhile, I’ll put together a landing page for the event 🚀 ---
