Hello there! Thank you very much for your interest in speaking at DevFest.cz 2025!
DevFest.cz will take place on October 24, 2025, at a unique complex of Gabriel Loci, a former monastery in beautiful Neo-Romanesque style. This year, we are celebrating a decade of knowledge-sharing and nerdiness. As we aim to be more of a festival than another conference, the venue will be full of gadgets, geeky fun and even some role-playing.
You can submit a talk (40 min). You can also enter multiple submissions if you have several topics, and we will pick the one that suits the event best.
The official conference language is English, but we won't force Czech speakers to give a talk in English if they are not comfortable with it. If you prefer to deliver your talk in Czech, please write the title and abstract in Czech, too.
Tip! We support the diversity of our speakers and welcome underrepresented groups in tech. We have great experience with the format of two co-speakers, and it has worked well so far. Do not hesitate to submit a CfP for two! The form includes a field for a co-speaker.
We give all CfPs a chance to be submitted, but of course, not everyone will have the opportunity to stand on the stage. If you are curious about the selection process, we will most likely use some of the principles from our previous strategy; read more at https://go.gug.cz/df-speakers-selection.
TOPICS:

Disclaimer
Which proposals don't fit? We are interested in experience-based talks. We will not accept proposals that are:
Travel and accommodation coverage
As of this moment, we cannot guarantee travel and accommodation coverage for all. This is a non-commercial event organised by the community, so if your employer can cover your travel and/or accommodation costs, it will help us substantially. We will be happy to mention the company as a supporter on the website (you can state that on the last page of this form). The money we save will be invested in the organisation of the conference and financial aid for attendees from underrepresented groups or students.
Entry to the conference: As a speaker, you will get a free ticket. Please note that we will not be done with the speaker selection by the time tickets go on sale, so if you want to join the event as an attendee, let us know in the form below, and we’ll hold a ticket for you in case your talk is not selected.
