We are looking for brilliant speakers that can deliver content in one of these forms: technical sessions. 

Feedback from our last event, ELDK26:

• Deeper technical level - we didn't go deep enough. Take it to Expert level !
• More demos - less slides
• Better time management - some speakers put demos toward the end and missed showing the demos due to many questions along the way. More time to questions

(NEW FOR ELDK27)    Level / Topic Expectations (Survey)

This year we are running a survey asking attendees to provide their preferred topics of sessions and the level of the audience.  Think of this as samples. The survey will run during the whole CfS process. We will use the results to select speakers & sessions.

You can see the results from the survey here so you can align the submissions to interest and levels of the audience.

Trend in survey ->  Many attendees are at min. Expert (400) level (typically consultants or specialists). Go deeper !!!

Technical Sessions Requirements:

• Length of 50/60 min
• Give audience a deep introduction to topic with lots of demos - and time for questions (5-10 min) during the session
• "Less PowerPoint, More Demos" - Give them both side of the coins; good & bad !
• Session Tracks: Intune, Security, Data Compliance & Security, AI for Makers (Copilot & Agents), AI for Engineers/Developers (Build Your Own AI), Microsoft 365, Identity, Azure
• Language must be English
• Encourage audience to ask questions - we see lots of questions, so make room in the presentation for lots of questions

Limitations:

• We will accept a maximum of 3 sessions per speaker. Please fill in one session form per session. 

Important information

• Sessions which haven't been delivered at other events are highly preferred.
• Speakers may be selected for an extra 1:1 Ask The Expert session together with another speaker. Attendees can show up for 1:1 sessions to discuss problems, issues, advisory. If speaker is selected for 1:1 Ask The Expert session, you are required to participate for 60 min
