Q:  How are speakers selected?
A:  Once the topics and sessions of the info360 Conference Program have been finalized, we look at the Call For Papers proposals to see if they are good fits with the program. Speakers are then selected based on their topic knowledge and prominence in their field. All sessions must be educational in nature. Sales pitches and product promotions are strictly prohibited and will result in exclusion from future info360 events.
