I'm also open to helping, but not sure if I'd have time to put a long presentation together. How long do these talks need to be?

I think we could do a schedule like this that might allow for Shawn to do H, A, F in the afternoon.

Morning sessions could be between half hour, 40 minutes, then allow 10-15 mins for questions, then 5 min break between. The shorter sessions in the afternoon can be 20 mins w 5-10 mins questions.

10AM - 11AM Template Heirarchy (Caleb Burks)
(We will be covering "What is a template" in 101, but we haven't in the past: http://www.slideshare.net/angiemeeker/dissecting-wordpress-themes-and-page-templates-wordpress-columbus-meetup - you might be able to use that preso as a starting point)
11AM - 12PM The Loop (Kyle Maurer)
1:30PM - 2:30PM Custom Post Type, Custom Fields (Joe Querin)
2:30PM - 3:30PM Hooks, Actions, Filters (Shawn Hooper)
3:30PM - 4:00PM Registering Widget Area, Widgets (Mary Baum)
4:00PM - 4:30PM Registering and displaying new menu locations (Joe Querin)
4:30PM - 5:00PM Shortcodes (Maybe Maria - waiting on feedback)

Oh boy, a full hour! I'll try n put as much together as possible.

(Also, is it possible to switch the first two slots? If not, thats okay. But I may have trouble getting there at 10am)

@WPprodigy I might be willing to trade spots with you. I could do either topic or time slot. Haven't had time yet to prepare something.

Looks good! I'll see you guys in the morning - probably between 10 and 11.
