GroupBy is a free, community-driven online conference, and anyone can submit a session abstract!

Each session will be 60-minutes in length, followed by 15-minutes for Q&A and 15-minutes for whimsy and fun.

Those abstracts are then voted on, and the top-voted sessions are presented at a full-day webinar conference.

This year, Junior Speakers will be offered FREE support in building their sessions. If you are a Junior speaker looking for support, select "Junior Speaker" under "Level"!

Are you a Junior Speaker who wants help with your abstract submission? Email hello@groupby.org to be paired with a mentor! Joining the Junior Speaker program will not impact session selection. 

When submitting, make sure you select the track you want to present (GroupBy for Data Professionals and/or GroupBy for Data Directors) in your session submission under
