We're looking for experience-based talks, the information that can not be found in the documentation or easily googled. Share your story, your struggle, your research results, your experience with the frontier tool or technology.

We are not only looking tech geeks but also community superheroes who are impacting the community!

We are open to a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

Session Topics

AI, Machine Learning

Cloud

AR/VR Development

Web Development

Android, Flutter, Firebase, Angular, TensorFlow

Modern web and UX

Trends in UX/UI/Product design

Product Management in Tech

Security - All about software, web and network security

Soft skills, Marketing & business skills targeted at indie developers or startups

Session Formats

You can submit proposals for one of the following:

Conference session (25-30mins including Q&A) – On a range of different technologies, practices and methodologies

Workshops (1h) – Presentation, technical demonstration or discussion, all with an interactive element for participants

Community Lounge – (Open discussion space)

Lightning Talk (10-15min) - Sessions designed for speakers to give a quickfire view of a particular subject

👩👨Tip! We support diversity of our speakers and welcome underrepresented groups in tech. We saw at Google I/O that a format of two co-speakers works really well. Do not hesitate to submit a CFP for two :)

Next step: If your talk is selected, you will receive a confirmation mail with the necessary details and schedule within 1 week 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 exactly same talk topic which you've already delivered and can be found online.

🚫 Stolen presentations.
