We welcome submissions covering the 3 major public clouds - AWS, Azure and GCP in addition to topics for on-premises and hybrid environments.

DataSaturday Oslo strives for diversity and transparency. You can read our CoC here.
Our venue is commonly accessible.
We welcome any and all sessions on data as described above, and we want you as a speaker to know that we will additionally give precedence to the following in our selection process:
- Speakers residing in the Nordic countries
- First-time speakers. We will offer newcomers an experienced mentor to help them prepare.
- Diversity (i.e. diversity in gender, race and ethnicity, disability and neuro-diversity)
- Diversity in topics and technologies
Since this is a free event for the attendees and the event is run by volunteers in their spare time we are not in a position to reimburse travel expenses for, or pay our speakers.
