Speaker submissions for the Develop: Brighton 2016 conference, which will run from 12-14 July, are now open.

Prospective speakers have until 21 March 2016 to submit.

New for 2016

Held at the Hilton Metropole in Brighton, the conference will be structured as in previous years, kicking off with its Evolve day on 12 July, and the main conference tracks running 13-14 July.

New for 2016, however, is a funding track for 12 July, and a VR track for 13-14 July.

There will also be a new VR Gallery in the expo area and improved networking, with a meeting system and dedicated networking area.

"For those planning on submitting a session, we like our talks to offer delegates practical advice, best practise guidance and inspiration so all sessions really need to provide a 'Take Away' statement that clearly summarises what delegates can expect to get out of the session," added organising MD Andy Lane.

You can find out more details about the conference and speaker submissions via its website.
