Things to Know
NCF’s Session Selector Contest is an opt-in contest designed to amplify the voices in our community
Selected sessions will be scheduled as 30-60 minutes in length depending on the theme, number of participants, session plan, and schedule in the pavilion
Sessions should have no more than 4 speakers per discussion/workshop/demo, etc.
If your session is selected, all of your speakers will receive complimentary Weekend Early Entry Passes that will give them access to NCF through express lanes on both days of the festival. In addition, all speakers are invited to attend the NCF After-Dark VIP Parties on both nights the festival
NCF does not provide travel compensation for speakers so please take that into account when applying/inviting folks to take part
