Next step:  If your talk is selected, you will receive a confirmation mail with the necessary details and schedule within 2-3 days after the submission is closed.

A brief idea about audience: The majority of our target audience is IT professionals, developers, students/job hunters including developers/designers/non-tech but not limited to this. Anyone from any background is welcome to attend our conference.

Which proposals don't fit
We are interested in experience-based talks. We will not accept proposals that are:

🚫 Just repeating documentation without your experience/lessons learned.
🚫 Pitching/selling a company or a product. It's OK to mention your company, but it shouldn't be the main focus.
🚫 Recruitment talks to attract talent.
🚫 The exact same talk topic which you've already delivered and can be found online.
🚫 Stolen presentations.
