We've had two reports of issues submitting talk proposals through PaperCall today. We've reached out to their support and are still waiting on a response. Sorry for the trouble if you've been trying to submit! We'll post an announcement when things are back working.
Is anyone having trouble submitting talk proposals through PaperCall right now? I just got a report about that for @blueridgeruby.com today. We had two successful submissions yesterday, so it seems like possibly a new issue. 😖

I'm going to be making some Behind the Scenes videos leading up to @blueridgeruby.com this spring. This first one is some background on our CFP process and my advice on submitting talk proposals to Blue Ridge and other conferences.

We've just updated the website with our hotel recommendations. There are lots of hotel and AirBnB options near the venue and while there's no official conference hotel, we wanted to highlight some good options. blueridgeruby.com#stay

I can't tell you how encouraging it is to see the first two week's of initial ticket sales, talk proposals, and sponsorship inquiries for Blue Ridge. And during the holidays, when everyone is busy! So pumped for spring in Asheville. ☺️
