• Lightning Talk (15 mins): Fast-paced, focused presentations on practical tooling, workflow automation, or product showcases. 

Target Expertise Levels

• Beginner / Builder / Non-Tech: Accessible to students, career switchers, non-developer roles, product/design starters, and early-stage entrepreneurs. 
• Intermediate & Advanced: In-depth sessions tailored for experienced engineers, senior product managers, lead designers, and tech leaders. 

What We Expect From Submissions

• No Pure Sales Pitches: Focus on actionable insights, lessons learned, and value for the audience rather than selling a product/service.
• Practical Key Takeaways: Attendees should walk away with clear frameworks, code samples, or strategies they can use right away.
• Inclusive Voice: We strongly encourage submissions from first-time speakers, underrepresented groups, and diverse backgrounds.
