The description is typically many lines (an example: http://www.seattlerb.org/talks/410). Displaying this all on one line in the middle of other information might get a bit messy. Something like this might be a bit nicer:

```
    <h1>Hello Awesome Seattle.rb Admin, <%= @talk.presenter %> (<%= @talk.email %>) has submitted a talk!</h1>
    <p>The title is: <%= @talk.title%></p>
    <p>The description is: 
    <%= @talk.description %>
    </p>
```

Although I guess seeing it rendered will be the true test...
