Um, more to the point, why do they *need* your date of birth? Surely, if it's just to make sure you're 18 or over, there can be a tick box saying 'please tick to indicate you're over 18'? Or is there some strange law I'm not aware of?<br>

Hi everyone :-)<br>
<br>
On the talk submission form [1] there are required fields<br>
for the date of birth and the mobile phone number of the<br>
speaker.<br>
<br>
A bit down is an - also required - checkbox titled "I agree<br>
to let you publish my data on the web site." Does that<br>
actually mean I can only submit a talk if I agree to have my<br>
date of birth and mobile phone number published on the<br>
website?<br>
