We are looking for speakers from near and far to come to Scotland's ultimate data community conference. (NOTE: DATA:Scotland is an in-person event

  • We’d like sessions which can cover all aspects of data, from cloud provision, database administering, data engineering, analytics to automation, DevOps and data science. 


  • We are also eager to welcome soft-skills sessions to support attendees in realising their professional and personal potential. 


  • We want to hear from new speakers and veterans alike. Whatever level you are at, you will be given the best Scottish welcome!


How many sessions can I submit?

Three! That's right, you have up to three submissions to wow the DATA:Scotland selection team! 


What's a new speaker?

We would expect new speakers to have never spoken at a conference before. If you have spoken at small user groups, or internal company sessions, we would still qualify you for new speaker support. Please choose the ‘New Speaker’ session format so that we can pair you with a mentor and ensure you have all the support you need to make a splash in the data community!


Do we provide expenses?

As a not for profit event, we are unable to cover any travel and accommodation expenses for speakers. We do aim to provide a discount to a local hotel for accepted Speakers. 


We look forward to your submissions!
