The most colorful Microsoft Business Applications conference coming to Hamburg!
Like artists working with broad color palettes, ColorCloud 🌈 covers all the fun stuff from Microsoft Cloud offerings with German and English content:
April, 24th (Thursday) will be the Pre-Day Workshops day 👩🏫
April, 25th (Friday) will be the main conference day ✨
Thank you for considering ColorCloud 🌈 as a place to speak. You as a speaker are a crucial part of the success of our event. That's why we are planning on taking extra care of you.
For the second edition of this event, we are very happy to host you in beautiful Hamburg again.
Please read and follow the instructions below carefully, to make the submission and selection process as smooth as possible for all of us.
Creating a good session submission
Our friends at the Nordic Summit have created a fantastic guide on how to write good session submissions (https://nordicsummit.info/blog/call-for-speakers-submit-sessions-successfully/).
If you follow it your chances of getting selected increase tremendously.
Here is the TL:DR summary:
Session type
We plan for the following session types:
Session language
We plan on having 50% English and 50% German sessions. So feel free to submit in either of those languages.
Depending on the amount of submitted sessions it might increase your chances of acceptance when you submit a German session.
Session topics
You can present your knowledge in Microsoft's Business Applications. Select one or more of our topic areas (Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Customer Engagement, Business Central, Finance & Operations, Power BI, Copilot/AI and Azure) when you send in a session proposal.
Every submitted session should have some relation to Business Applications. Combining several of our topic areas will give you a higher chance of selection 💪
Session levels
The following are the session levels we use. Those are according to the standard Microsoft and the Community is usually using. The description is the expectation we have for the attendees.
Mentoring
We aim to have a mentoring program for new or inexperienced speakers. Even if we won't have a dedicated mentoring program are we happy to help anyone with the session submission or preparation for the session.
Don't let that fear be the reason you do not submit. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this.
Planned Timeline
The Call for Speakers (CFS) is open until November 17th, 2024. We plan on having a ready-to-go agenda by the middle of December.
Already during the CFS period, we might announce some speakers, so you increase your chances if you submit early ⏱️
Compensation
Our Speaker compensation includes 1-night hotel accommodation, a conference pass, and a place at the Speaker Event. Also, we will have a big After-Party on Friday. 🥳 We compensate for one Speaker per session.
The workshop compensation includes a 500€ reimbursement when 5 participants are reached, an additional 50€ per participant over 5, as well as 2 nights of hotel accommodation and a conference pass.
The Call For Speakers will close EOD on November 17th, 2024. Feel free to share the link to the call for speakers with others in the community that we may have missed.
