Selection process

Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by a Call for Papers Committee.

Deadline: 20 January 2020  25 January. 

Help us to understand your past speaking experience: add links to videos and slides of your past talks. And help the Committee to better assess your application: provide us with blog posts or papers on the importance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled.

Original talks (not previously presented at other conferences) will be given priority

Proposals can be modified by the owner at any time — although kindly let the organisers know any time you do modify your session(s) or data after the Call for Papers has ended.

The online votes will be considered in the selection of proposals but will not bind the judgement; they could be used in case of ties to pick one session over another, but there’s other criteria as well.

It's possible to submit your proposal publicly or privately. In case of private submission, only the staff can see it until the conference schedule is posted.

by submitting a proposal you accept our Privacy Policy

Accommodation and travel

droidcon Italy is organised by Synesthesia Srl, a software house that has been operating for over ten years in the heart of Turin. 

For selected speakers, Organizer can:

• cover up to two nights accommodation in Turin.
• provide a grant towards travel expenses.
• provide a complimentary ticket to droidcon Italy 2020 for the speaker, plus one guest.

When filling in the form, please consider that:

 * The conference organisation has a finite budget to put towards speakers travel and accommodation

 * If your company can provide you with travel and accommodation, please consider replying NO to the next question, and leaving the allocated travel budget to help more financially disadvantaged speakers (or attendees) instead

 * Requiring travel assistance is NOT a disqualifying factor for being selected for the CfP but it will help the organisers better plan how to spend the budget

 * The travel assistance budget is meant to support indie developers and diverse voices so they can make themselves heard even if they do not have the monetary means to travel to the conference, so please don't abuse it if you don't need it

 * As a speaker you are NOT guaranteed monetary assistance, but the organisers will do all they can to assist as many speakers as possible as most as possible with the budget they have

 * The general travel budget can be used to pay for up to 2 nights in an hotel during the conference, and for economy airfare/train/bus fare only
