+For DevOpsDays Dallas 2016, we are actively soliciting programming that addresses these topics:
+<br><br>
+* Software development practices for the DevOps world<br>
+* Velocity, sustainability, and technical debt<br>
+* Quantifying productivity, failure, and risk metrics<br>
+* Professional development, teaching, training, and mentorships<br>
+* Emotional labor and empathy<br>
+* Teaching junior engineers how to be senior engineers<br>
+* Mental health, stress, and burnout<br>
+* Learning lessons from other fields (manufacturing, military, etc.)<br>
+<br>
+We will also accept submissions on perennially popular topics as discussed at other DevOpsDays:<br>
+* Continuous Deployment<br>
+* Automation<br>
+* Containerization<br>
+* Performance Monitoring<br>
+* Configuration Management<br>
+* DevOps in the Enterprise<br>
+* Microservices<br>
+* Managed Services<br>
+* Development methodology<br>
+* Scaling out DevOps<br>
+* Hiring for DevOps<br>
+
+However, please consider that novelty is heavily encouraged as per our guidelines above. These topics are popular, but every year we will be receiving more submissions about them than we can accept.

+The DevOps Days event mandate is to bring the highest­quality speakers, experts and the curious together. 
+By sponsoring DevOps Days, you will be exposing your company’s brand and services to Dallas’s top talent 
+in this rapidly growing space. (And feel great about it, too!)<br><br>
+We greatly value sponsors for this open event. If you are interested in sponsoring please reach out to us at: {{< email_organizers >}}.
 
-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.
-<br>
-The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at DevOpsDays on their own terms.
