The key preparation milestones for Analyst Days: from submitting your proposal to the publication of the final schedule.

02 August 2026

Final Submission Deadline

Your talk must be submitted no later than this date. After submission, you will be assigned one or more curators who will help refine the talk and materials. If you do not yet have a specific topic, please indicate this in the submission title and prepare several options before your call with the curator. Submissions without a specific topic must be submitted no later than 28 June 2026.

Draft Presentation

By this date, a content-complete version is required, even if the design is not yet final.

If no draft presentation is provided, your talk may be rejected even before a curator is assigned due to insufficient information.
