+# Propose a talk about Gerrit Code Review!
+
+The User Summit is about people and their experiences in using Gerrit Code
+Review for their teams and companies.
+
+We are looking forward to receiving fantastic proposals from industry
+experts about how you're using Gerrit, including upgrading to the latest
+versions, integrating with your Development Pipeline(s), or any extensions
+you've made to Gerrit with amazing plugins.
+
+Other interesting experiences could include scaling Gerrit (via
+multi-primary/multi-site, pull-replication/replication, Git/JGit, or some other
+approach) and the entire Continuous Integration pipeline, including integration
+with specific CI systems (Jenkins or others) and with issue tracking systems.
+
+## How to submit my proposal?
+
+It is very simple, just clone this project, create a Markdown document under
+the `/sessions` directory using the `template.md` as an example and then push
+a change for review.
+
+You need to be registered on [Gerrit Code Review](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com)
+in order to be able to be authorized to push changes for review.
+
+Alternatively, you can create and edit a change in the Gerrit UI via the
+`Create Change` button from the
+[project page](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/summit/2024,commands).
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+$ git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/summit/2024 && (cd 2024 && f=`git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg ; mkdir -p $(dirname $f) ; curl -Lo $f https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg ; chmod +x $f)
+$ cd 2024/sessions
+$ cp template.md myamazingtalk.md
+$ vi myamazingtalk.md
+
+# make your edits ...
+
+$ git add myamazingtalk.md & git commit -m 'This is my amazing talk'
+$ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
+```
+
+## How my talk is going to be voted and selected?
+
+The voting is open to everyone that is registered on
+[Gerrit Code Review](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com).
+People will be able to post comments, ask questions and vote for it.
+
+The top several rated proposals will become part of the Gerrit User Summit 2024
+agenda.
+
+## Will my talk be recorded and published?
+
+We are intending to record the sessions and publish them to allow others to
+watch online later on, even if they have not attended the User Summit. However,
+if you do not wish to be recorded, just let us know by including a comment on
+your talk proposal.
+
+You are free to publish your slides anywhere on the web and we will just point
+to them.
