Our ethos
To understand how we do things, take a look into the origins and ethos of LAST Conferences (the former name for Signal Not Noise), on the Submission Guidelines page, which includes videos from previous info sessions.
Watch these videos!
In 2018 we held an info session in Melbourne, there are some logistics that are different, such as the detail of submission links, contacts etc. What still applies are the principles around the content, and the thought process that submitters are encouraged to take. Even though we are being thorough about passing on the principles we want you to work on, you can still be flexible when you submit ideas.
If you only watch one video…
If you only watch one video, watch this at 1.5 or 2x speed!
This emphasises the main points in the videos.
