Propose an activity, presentation or workshop (Deadline May 31, 2026)

Do you have something you want to share with the community? Something you want to teach others how to do? Apply for a presentation or workshop slot! Limited time is available, so get your proposal in early (and not later than May 31, 2026).
Become a Vendor
https://init-hello.org/vendorspace/
There is no charge for space in the vendor area, but there is limited room. So, please sign up to let us know you are planning to set up, and to reserve your spot (and to ensure there are enough tables, etc.).
Request extra Workspace
https://init-hello.org/workspace/
We’re planning to have a workstation-sized space for each attendee. Think half of a long folding table. If you have some ideas which would require additional space or a dedicated area to set up in, then please specify the details below. We’ll do what we can to try to ensure that everyone who has confirmed space has the space they need.
