 It'll be a fun, varied and engaging two days. Self organised sessions and fire talks with a focus on community in the day time, and evening socials on both days.
-We've not got the CFP or schedule arranged yet, but if you have an idea of a talk or project that you'd be keen to share, give us a shout.  There will most likely also be time & space for ad-hoc talks on one or other of the days.
+One day will be more focussed on workshops and self organised sessions, and the other more talks from our community, sharing our knowledge, experience and passions. Some of you have made suggestions already, thanks - we'll get back shortly!

 We'll add more info to the website at https://northernrst.com/ when we have it, but we'll also keep you updated via email.

The event will be hosted at the luscious and spacious 57 North Hacklab in Aberdeen see https://www.57north.org.uk/our-space for more details about the location.
+This time we will focus on hearing from our community, sharing our knowledge, experience and passions. Our schedule this time will be looser, we will integrate talks with dynamic "unconference" content.
+We are not going to do a formal CFP this year, instead if you have an idea of a talk or project that you'd be keen to share, give us a shout on the email address below. We are going to run a Fire Talks format, with all talks are expected to be a total of 20 minutes and supported by slides.
