* Contact email address (if not the email you are using to send the expression of interest)
* Where will you be travelling from to attend this conference?
** Since we are aiming to pay speakers's travel costs, preference will be given to people travelling from within the UK. However, geographical location ''within'' the UK will not be a basis for acceptance or rejection of the proposal.
