Diversity & Inclusion

We strongly encourage submissions from underrepresented groups in tech. We want diverse voices and perspectives on our stage.

Selection Process

We review all submissions carefully. While we cannot select every proposal, talks with a solid technical foundation and low marketing fluff have a higher chance of being chosen.

Unacceptable Topics

We are interested in experience-based talks. We will not accept Talks 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. 

Travel and Accommodation Costs

For this year’s event, we will not be covering transportation or accommodation costs for speakers. However, all speakers will receive free conference tickets and will not be required to pay any ticket fees.
