Between the stage 1 and stage 2 review, you can see the feedback from the reviewer. You may revise your proposal according to reviewers’ comments or feedback. If you want to make your change obvious to the reviewers, you can point out the ID of the comment, and mention about what you’ve revised according to the comment in the “Supplementary” section, e.g. “#4: Updated the time management for xxx phase”

The guideline for tutorial submission is based on the guideline for talks, so make sure you have read “[:prose-locale-link{href="/speaking/talk"}[How to Propose a Talk?]]”. On top of that, We have some special requirements for tutorial submission, please refer to “[:prose-locale-link{href="/speaking/tutorial"}[How to Propose a Tutorial?]]” for more information.

::prose-two-col{title="Topics"}
We accept a broad range of Python-related proposals from academic research to commercial projects, case studies, or soft topics such as running a community, making good communication, mental health, etc. So basically, if you are reading this, just submit your proposal!
We encourage speakers to talk about your own Python package or application, your experience of learning Python or hosting a Python community, etc. Talks on advanced topics are highly welcomed as well. For your inspiration, our committee has suggested that they’d love to see talks on the following topics: A.I., Machine Learning, Data Analysis, FinTech, Medical Care, Semiconductor, Manufacturing, Civic Technology, etc.
