FAQ
What if I'm not a consultant?
No worries! Here's the point: Most conferences are quite "self promotional" with "experts" presenting lofty but untested advice. We want the real thing here.
What if I don't have case study data?
We're looking for real-world application. So if you've actually been implementing EQ then you are qualified to send a proposal.
