We accept speakers already called "Katie".
If your name, as of right now, is not Katie, please do not make the following jokes:
- "I can be an honorary Katie!"
- "I can just change my name!"
- "Just call me Katie, it's okay!"
These jokes aren't helpful in the context of the messaging this conference is trying to share.
We have people who have chosen their own name, for example at the time of changing their gender, or been given such names at birth, so your 'jokes' are not welcome and can be hurtful.
