Why is this a requirement?

This doesn't feel too valid to me. I didn't experience this with any of the presentations given last year, do other people feel that this was a problem?

I have 2 issues with it:

1. Often the most appropriate time to write talks is the 8-10 hrs it takes to commute to the conference.

2. Events often overtake things that are written months before. We work in a particularly dynamic environment, requiring a presentation to be set in stone months before the conference seems like putting an artificial block on how relevent a presentation is...
