Window of opportunity | Qt World Summit 2015 Call for Papers

By Anca Cioaca

Our thanks to all of those who have already submitted proposals for Qt World Summit 2015!

We received several requests for a little more time. By popular demand, we’re extending the Qt World Summit 2015 Call for Papers deadline by one week. If you have been procrastinating—or distracted by other important things—you have received a reprieve. You now have until 11:59 p.m. CET / 2:59 p.m. PDT on Sunday, May 31, to submit your proposal.

So if you were thinking about writing an abstract but figured you were going to run out of time, you now have an extra week.

We’ve had a fantastic response so far and look forward to receiving further papers before the final deadline.
