We are looking for talks targeted at audience with various degrees of expertise levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and help them improve their Azure Skills.

What makes a good submission ?

• Title - Be as specific as possible on what feature of Azure you are willing to talk about. Titles such as "Intro to automation with Azure" are too broad . A better title IMHO would be "Intro to ARM templates and Azure CLI to automate infra creation"  
  
• Description - As a rule of thumb, try to summarize your table of contents (or agenda) slide in 30-45 seconds and put it down as description. Tell us whether you will be doing a demo. Any pre-requisites?
• Notes to Organizer - Tell us if you require assistance owing to your special (and differently-abled) needs.
• Bio - Add as much information as possible to your bio.
  

More is better than less. Specific is better than generic and vague. Save us the effort of reaching out to you again to clarify things. Also, we wouldn't want to miss out on an amazing speaker with a great topic because of an unclear submission.

Any topic related to Azure is fair game. We recommend but not restrict you to below topics.

• IT Pro, DevOps
• Azure Security
• Containers (on Azure)
• Data, Analytics, AI, IoT
• Web and Mobile Dev

Our Azure community in Chennai is very welcoming and will make you feel completely at home. We actively welcome and encourage new and first-time speakers. This doesn't mean that we ignore submissions from the veterans who have been there, done that. Instead, it means that we will prefer giving a chance to a new-speaker, when it's a close call.

You are free to submit a max of 2 talks and a talk can have more than one speaker.
