Cloud Native Days Italy brings together hundreds of passionate IT professionals, IT executives, cloud operators, and technology providers to discuss cloud computing and delve into Kubernetes.

This is your chance to make your voice heard in this extraordinary context!

First-time speaker?

First time submitting? You don’t need to be a chief architect or a long-time industry expert to submit a proposal. In fact, we strongly encourage first-time speakers to present their talks for this event. We are looking for many more diverse voices!

What to include in your proposal?

Consider the following points as you write your proposal:

• What do you expect the audience to learn from your presentation?
• Why SHOULD you be the one to give this talk? You have a unique story. Tell it.
• Explain how your talk fits into the context of Cloud Native Days Italy. We want community-focused content that highlights cloud native projects and technologies, as well as enterprise-focused content that showcases use cases and lessons learned, while avoiding presentations that are purely marketing-oriented towards specific products.

Important!

We don’t expect every presentation to include code snippets or technical deep dives, but there are two things you should avoid when preparing your proposal, as they are often rejected for compromising the integrity of our event and are rarely well-received by attendees:

• Sales or marketing pitches
• Unlicensed or potentially closed-source technologies
• Talks previously presented at other local conferences

There are plenty of ways to give a presentation about projects and technologies without focusing on company-specific initiatives. Let’s give space to the community!
