Hi Chris -
Your product looks great, and we appreciate your proposal. However, as noted in the Call for Proposals, for-profit companies need to be sponsors of the conference in order to present. If you'd like more information, please send an email to my co-chair, Steve Hargadon, at steve@hargadon.com.
Thanks!
Lucy Gray
