Everyone's favorite Austrian post-modern art collective, is returning to San Francisco in September to host arse.elektronika, a conference about sex and technology.

They're still looking for speakers with expertise and motivation, especially in the following areas:
- people with a porn industry tech perspective (executives, technicans, etc.)
- economy research
- social history and history of sex technology
- (insert your own tech angle here)

Though it's not stated on the page, there may be room for performance art or small installations.
