Advice about speaker proposals:

1- Please review our conference tracks before you submit: http://apiworld.co/conference/tracks/

2- DevNetwork conferences aim for a balanced representation of backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, ages, and roles for its speakers. Toward that goal, we ask that companies submitting speaker proposals make sure to submit technical professionals & executives from their companies representing a balanced diversity.

Our accepted Speakers receive one (1) PRO Pass ($1,990 value) to API World 2026, and an invitation to our VIP Welcome Party (Sept 1, 2026)
