-Information about the venue including address, map/direction, parking/transit, and any hotel group discount codes.
+The conference will take place Wednesday July 20 and Thursday July 21, 2016 at the <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/minnesota/hilton-minneapolis-MSPMHHH/index.html">downtown Minneapolis Hilton</a>. We will have a discounted rate for those who'd like to stay at the Hilton.
+<p>
+Last year, we worked with the hotel to make space available for nursing mothers, and if that would be useful for you, please let us know. We'd also be happy to accommodate any other accessibility needs. You can reach out <a href="http://www.devopsmsp.org/slack/">on devops MSP Slack</a> or via <a href="mailto:organizers-minneapolis-2016@devopsdays.org">email</a>.
 <p>
+The recommended way to travel between the airport and downtown Minneapolis is via the <a href="http://www.metrotransit.org/airport.aspx">light rail train</a> to Nicollet Mall station. You can walk (under a mile), transfer to a free bus on the bus/bike/pedestrian Nicollet Mall in downtown, or take a short cab ride from the LRT. Uber & Lyft are also available, as is car2go.
+<p>
+
+If you spend most of your time in places like Portland or Brooklyn, our metro will feel familiar, with its bike share stations, beautiful riverfront, and numerous craft brewery tap-rooms with food trucks in their parking lots.

-There are three ways to propose a session:
-<ol>
-  <li><strong><em>A proposal for a talk/panel</em></strong> during the conference part : these are 30 minute slots that will have the full attention of all attendees, as everybody will be in that one room.</li>
-  <li><strong><em>An Ignite talk</em></strong> that will be presented during the<a href="/pages/ignite-talks-format"> Ignite sessions</a>. These are 5 minutes slots with slides changing every 15 seconds (20 slides total) which are also presented to all attendees in one room</li>
-  <li><strong><em>Open Space session</em></strong> : even without a prepared presentation we welcome the discussion and interaction by having people propose a session on the fly during Open Space. Check the <a href="/pages/open-space-format">Open Space explanation</a> for more information.
-</ol>
+We're now accepting proposals for 30-minute talks. We'll open proposals for 5-minute Ignite presentations much closer to the time of the conference.
 
-### Even if you don't propose, please consider {{< event_link page="proposals" text="commenting on proposals submitted by others" >}}
+If you'd like to lead a group discussion during the <a href="/pages/open-space-format">Open Space</a> breakout sessions, it is not necessary to propose it ahead of time. Those topics are suggested in person at the conference. If you'd like to demo your product or service, you should <a href="../sponsor">sponsor the event</a> and demo it at your table.
 
-Our main criteria to make it to the top selection are:
+<!-- ### Even if you don't propose, please consider {{< event_link page="proposals" text="commenting on proposals submitted by others" >}} -->
 
-- _original content_: content not yet presented at other conferences, or a new angle to an existing problem
-- _new presenters_: people who are new to the space and have insightful stuff to say; we want to hear everybody's voice
-- _no vendor pitches_: as much as we value vendors and sponsors, we just don't think this is the right forum. You can demo at your table or during Open Space.
+Choosing talks is part art, part science; here are some factors we consider when trying to assemble the best possible program for our local audience:
+
+- _broad appeal_: How will your talk play out in a room of people with a variety of backgrounds? Technical deep dives need more levels to provide value for the whole room, some of whom might not use your specific tool.
+- _new local presenters_: You are the only one who can tell your story. We are very interested in the challenges and successes being experienced in our local area. We are happy to provide guidance/coaching for new speakers upon request.
+- _under-represented voices_: We want to hear all voices, including those that may speak less frequently at similar events. Whether you're in a field not typically thought of as a technology field, you're in a large, traditional organization, or you're the only person at your organization with your background, we are interested in your unique experience.
+- _original content_: We prefer talks not already presented at another event, especially another one in the local area or one available in recorded form.
+- _no third-party submissions_: If a PR firm or your marketing department is proposing the talk, you've already shown that as a speaker you're distant from the process. This is a small community-driven event, and speakers need to be directly engaged with the organizers and attendees.
+- _no vendor pitches_: As much as we value vendors and sponsors, we are not going to accept a talk that appears to be a pitch for your product.
 
 <strong>How to submit a proposal:</strong> Send an email to [{{< email_proposals >}}] with the following information

+	<li>Anything else you'd like the organizers to know</li>
+        <li>Whether you live in the local area or work for a locally-based org (this works in your favor, in that we want to promote local voices)</li>
+        <li>Whether you need assistance with travel costs including hotel, flight, and parking (this does not affect our decision-making one way or the other)</li>

 <hr>
 
 DevOpsDays is a self-organizing conference for practitioners that depends on sponsorships. We do not have vendor booths, sell product presentations, or distribute attendee contact lists. Sponsors have the opportunity to have short elevator pitches during the program and will get recognition on the website and social media before, during and after the event. Sponsors are encouraged to represent themselves by actively participating and engaging with the attendees as peers. Any attendee also has the opportunity to demo products/projects as part of an open space session.
-<br>
-Gold sponsors get a full table and Silver sponsors a shared table where they can interact with those interested to come visit during breaks. All attendees are welcome to propose any subject they want during the open spaces, but this is a community-focused conference, so heavy marketing will probably work against you when trying to make a good impression on the attendees.

 The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at DevOpsDays on their own terms.
