Code PaLOUsa is a multi-day software development conference designed to cover all aspects of software development regardless of technology stack. The conference schedule features presentations from well-known professionals in the software development community. The conference also features exhibitor tables where leading software development companies come to interact with attendees to show off their latest wares.
We are inviting the software development community to submit talks for Code PaLOUsa 2022 which will be held August 17 - 19, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Louisville in downtown Louisville. Code PaLOUsa is an annual multi-day software development conference designed to cover all aspects of software development regardless of technology stack or role. This Call for Speakers will close on April 17, 2022.
We are looking for both technical and non-technical sessions pertaining to every aspect of software development in the following broad categories:
Wednesday, August 17, 2022, will be our pre-conference day where we will be offering our attendees half-day (3-hour) and full-day (6-hour) workshops. Thursday, August 18, 2022 and Friday, August 19, 2022, will be our primary conference days where we offer as many quality 60-minute sessions as we can fill into those days.
If You Are Selected as a Speaker
All speakers get a single free ticket to attend all three days of the conference. We also will cover 2 nights (3 nights for pre-conference workshop speakers) of your hotel room at the Hyatt Regency Louisville. We pay the hotel directly, you do not have to wait for a reimbursement.
Please let us know if you have any special requirements and we will try to accommodate. Please remember that this is a community conference brought to you by volunteers in our industry – your peers.
We Can Help
Not everyone is a natural talent on stage; not everyone can produce out-of-the-world slide decks; not everyone is a demo king/queen, and not everyone knows that they have something great to talk about. There are a million reasons why you do not consider yourself a speaker, but we are here to prove you wrong. If all you have is a gut feeling that you should be on stage, we are here to help you develop and hone the skills you think you lack to deliver a great presentation.
Here are some things we can help you out with:
