They may be given by experienced speakers already giving full length talks or by first time speakers just starting out (this is a great way to get started if you have something to say). If you are a first time speaker you will win a tie with an experienced speaker when the schedule is made, if it comes to it. Today\u2019s first time speaker could be tomorrow\u2019s keynote speaker! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdvISnee61jWo3xA9e2HGkMyPfSEi8b40TbLUXxqAp4gulz4w\/viewform\">giving a lightning talk at TPCiP<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>Arrival Dinners and the Wiki <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/perlconference\/tpc-2019-pit\/wiki\">TPCiP event Wiki<\/a> to post about your plans and get others to join you. &nbsp;One Wiki item that\u2019s become an unofficial tradition is a non-TPC coordinated Arrival Dinner and Alternate Arrival Dinner planned out by attendees. The Arrival and Alternate Arrival Dinners are not part of TPCiP or planned by TPCiP organizers. It&#8217;s basically a group of people going out for dinner, many old friends getting a chance to reunite, and some new friends looking for a fun dinner! The arrival dinners are welcome to all attendees.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can add a venue or an entry to the Wiki. Go ahead and add an <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/perlconference\/tpc-2019-pit\/wiki\/arrival-dinner\">Arrival Dinner<\/a> venue, or RSVP to an existing entry. Venue ideas for an <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/perlconference\/tpc-2019-pit\/wiki\/alt-arrival-dinner\">Alternate Arrival Dinner<\/a> have already been started. The Alternate Arrival Dinner is traditionally Vegan friendly and host to a smaller group than the Arrivals Dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>Accessibility at TPCiP<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, accessibility belongs to the Perl community, all of us!
