We are looking for talks targeted at audiences with various degrees of expertise levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and help them improve their Azure Skills.

Session Types:

- Lightning - 20 mins

- Session - 45 mins

- Workshop - 75 mins

What makes a good submission ?

Title - Be as specific as possible on what feature of Azure you are willing to talk about. Titles such as "Intro to automation with Azure" are too broad. A better title IMHO would be "Intro to ARM templates and Azure CLI to automate infra creation"

Description - As a rule of thumb, try to summarize your table of contents (or agenda) slide in 30-45 seconds and put it down as a description. Tell us whether you will be doing a demo. Any pre-requisites?

Notes to Organizer - Tell us if you require assistance owing to your special (and differently-abled) needs.

Bio - Add as much information as possible to your bio.

More is better than less. Specific is better than generic and vague. Save us the effort of reaching out to you again to clarify things. Also, we wouldn't want to miss out on an amazing speaker with a great topic because of an unclear submission.

Any topic related to Azure is fair game. We recommend but not restrict you to the below topics.

IT Pro, DevOps

Cloud Security

Containers (on Azure)

Data, Analytics, AI, IoT

Cloud Native App development

Web

Diversity & Inclusion:

Azure User group strives for diversity and inclusion in all of the community events. We highly encourage and give preference to first-time women speakers, first-time speakers. This doesn't mean that we ignore submissions from the veterans who have been there, and done that :) Just that we will prefer giving a chance to a new speaker when it's a close call.

You are free to submit a max of 3 talks and a talk can have more than one speaker.
