Hi Amy -
I've had a chance to review your proposal that somehow got stuck in a spam folder.... my apologies for that. We need your proposal to tie to the mission of our conference. Can you please take a look at our mission and see if you can add language to your proposal that aligns with our goals? To edit your proposal, use the OPTIONS button in the upper right hand corner. Let me know when you've had a chance to do this, and I'll review the proposal again.
FYI, we are going to be holding a similar conference on Maker culture next spring.... you might want to hold out for that.
Thanks,
Lucy Gray
Conference Co-Chair
