+Announcing the Call for Proposals and Sponsorship Prospectus
+============================================================
+
+We're excited to announce our Portland `Call for Proposals <https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/cfp/>`_, starting earlier than last year, as the conference is also a little earlier in the year.
+
+We're also launching our `Sponsorship Prospectus <https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/sponsors/prospectus/>`_ for 2024 with all the information for sponsoring the conference.
+
+Read on for more details about how you can get involved this year.
+
+Call for Proposals
+------------------
+
+Speaking at Write the Docs is a fantastic way to share your ideas with our inspiring community of documentarians.
+If there is something you'd really like to see a talk on this year, submit a proposal on it, or refer someone else who would be good!
+
+Every year, Write the Docs invites people from all across our community to come up on stage to share their insights and experience.
+We're looking for ideas and use-cases from all disciplines and roles, so whether you're a technical writer, developer, UX designer, community manager, or support professional who cares about content and communication, we want to hear from you!
+
+We're looking for talk proposals to be delivered in-person, on-stage in Portland.
+
+You can read our full `Call for Proposals <https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/portland/{{year}}/cfp/>`__ on the website.
+
+The Call for Proposals will be open until **11:59 PM {{cfp.ends}} PST**.
+
+(If you'd prefer not to attend an in-person event due to COVID-19 or any other reason, keep an eye out for `Atlantic_news_2024`_ held online in a timezone as widely accessible as possible).
+
+
+2024 Sponsorship Updates
+------------------------
+
+Our `Sponsorship Prospectus <https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/sponsors/prospectus/>`_ is updated for 2024, with lots of new additions.
+Based on sponsor feedback,
+we've focused on in-person interaction at the conference.
+Our new venue has lots of space for sponsors to interact with attendees.
+We've also reduced the number of tickets in each package and added an option for buying additional tickets at a discounted rate.
+
+Tickets
+-------
+
+Tickets will go on sale {{ tickets_live }}.
+
+As always, we keep ticket prices low so that the event is accessible to the widest range of people possible.
+However, if you can't afford the tickets and still wish to attend, we will launch our grants program soon after opening ticket sales.
