**With apologies for cross-posting**

There is still time to submit your topics for plenary sessions, breakout sessions and lightning talks for UKSG2021 in April 2021. In all cases, we welcome suggestions of speakers alongside topic ideas. Details can be found here: https://bit.ly/30o9UBT The deadline is 30 September 2020.

If you have something interesting to say but do not feel you are ready to present a plenary or break-out session we can provide mentors to help you prepare, or you might consider presenting a (much) shorter lightning talk. We will also help with training on the online delivery so that all you need to be concerned about is your content!

To properly reflect our community, UKSG believes we need to hear from people with a variety of perspectives and backgrounds and we particularly want to encourage and include those from under-represented communities to speak and take part.There will be an opportunity to take up a sponsored places to support early career and target those from under-represented communities to attend.

Background to the planned changes to our usual conference can be found here: https://bit.ly/33zNLks.

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your proposal ahead of submitting, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
