Throwing out some other numbers:

• There will be 180+ presentational/interactive sessions spanning CIO to Developer topics.
• Up to 90% of these sessions will be delivered by ServiceNow customers, i.e. those that have "been there, done it, and bought the t-shirt."
• There will also be more than 100 lab sessions — almost 2x more than Knowledge13 — to help customers get more out of their investment in ServiceNow.

It could be you presenting, or co-presenting, one of those 180+ sessions. You could be "paying IT forward," sharing what you have learned on your IT Transformation journey for the benefit of others.

Sign up before it is too late

So join us on stage at Knowledge14 and share your real-world experience with ServiceNow customers, prospects, partners, and industry experts. Our Call for Speakers closes on December 31, 2013, and we'll let you know whether your submission has been accepted before the end of January 2014.

And of course while you are at Knowledge 14 you will also benefit from the other attendees "paying IT forward" either through the formal presentations or those chance meetings that make life so rich. And did I mention that your ticket to the event is FREE if you are a speaker? That's one less cost to justify if you are already planning to attend the event.

You can find out more and sign up here. I look forward to seeing you, and possibly hearing you speak, in San Francisco next April.
