Most of our talks have been submitted, and added to the preliminary schedule.
We have 25+5 minutes! Themes must be chosen carefully, since time runs out quickly!
English is not a blocker, but Hungarian is the preferred. If you plan to make a talk in a language other than Hungarian, please do it in English. Most of the audience talks English, since we will be in a IT University context.
