Thank you for expressing your interest in sharing your insights and expertise as a speaker at the Azure Cosmos DB Conference 2024. This event is more than just a conference; it's a celebration of innovation and collaboration, co-organized by Microsoft and the passionate Azure Cosmos DB community. The event will be streamed in a one-day 3-hour show with additional on-demand sessions. Sessions for the show are pre-recorded and limited to 15 minutes.

This year, we invite you to submit proposals focusing on:

  1. Intelligent Applications with AI and Azure Cosmos DB: Dive into how Azure Cosmos DB, in tandem with artificial intelligence, can power intelligent, forward-thinking applications. We're looking for submissions that explore how to build AI-enabled applications using Azure Cosmos DB vector database capabilities with Large Language Models (LLMs) from OpenAI Service that leverage any of the AI orchestration tools including Semantic Kernel, LangChain, and LlamaIndex.
  2. Innovative and Specific Use Cases: Move beyond the basics and share detailed narratives of unique customer scenarios where Azure Cosmos DB was pivotal. Your presentation should highlight the specific challenges encountered and the innovative solutions devised. Some ideas for use case examples include: connected smart products, transaction processing at scale, real-time fraud detection, service and support bot, information and product discovery, personalization and recommendations, and building your own copilot.
  3. Focus on Specific Programming Languages: Focus on how the Azure Cosmos DB SDK is utilized in popular programming languages like Java, Python, and Node.js. Your insights should delve into how these languages optimize the functionality and user experience of Azure Cosmos DB.
  4. Connecting with Open Source APIs: Share your experiences in integrating Azure Cosmos DB open source APIs like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Apache Cassandra, and Gremlin. We're eager to hear how you've used these connections to bring a new dimension to database management and enhance your Azure Cosmos DB projects with versatility and functionality.
  5. Demonstration-Heavy Content: We highly encourage submissions that are abundant in live demonstrations or code. This practical, hands-on approach will provide a more immersive and engaging experience for our audience.
  6. Data Migration Sessions: We are seeking papers that address the critical aspect of data migration to and from Azure Cosmos DB. Share your expertise and experiences in the complexities, strategies, and best practices for effective data migration.
  7. Integration with Azure Ecosystem: Explore the implementation of Azure Cosmos DB with other Azure services, including but not limited to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure OpenAI Service, and others, highlighting how these integrations enhance application scalability, performance, and intelligence.

In your submission, please tell us about yourself and where you have presented before. Links to videos from other presentations, code repos, or other qualifications we should consider are highly encouraged. The selection process will consider your expertise in Azure Cosmos DB, your experience with specified technologies, and your ability to deliver a confident and well-prepared talk.

We can't wait to see what you'll bring to the Azure Cosmos DB Conference 2024! Your ideas, experiences, and innovations are what make this event truly extraordinary. Let's come together to explore the possibilities with Azure Cosmos DB and see what amazing things our community is building.
