As a community conference we are encouraging everyone from senior to newcomers from diverse backgrounds. microXchg will provide a mentoring program to support speakers to prepare, deliver and rehearse their talks.  We kindly ask you to select whether you seek for mentoring or if you are open to be part of the mentoring community to support with rehearsals.

microXchg has following different types of sessions:

• Talks will last 50 minutes (incl. Q&A) and provide enough time to cover a topic in detail.
• Lightning talks are 15 minutes. This allows to reduce effort in particular for newcomers and also to present niche subjects.
• In-depth session are three hours. Ideally those session should cover a topic in detail and also provide hands-on, labs and demos.

The Call for Papers will end on 31st December 2019. We are looking forward to your submissions!

Speak at our special meetups or even do a meetup roundtrip (optional)

We have community partnerships with several microservices, serverless, cloud native, Domain-Driven Design and software architecture meetups that will host special meetups with speakers of the conference before and after the conference. Please choose if you are interested in also speaking at those. We will also offer to plan a short speaker tour for you. The dates will be aligned to your needs by the meetup organizers.

Get recorded interviews at the conference studio (optional)

Besides the usual professional video recording of sessions and making them available via our youtube.com/microxchg channel we will also do personal one-on-one interviews in a dedicated studio room. This service will be available especially for our speakers, community partners, program committee members and also sponsors. Please tell us if you are interested in getting up to 2 recorded topic-related interviews by our team. We will then get in touch with you upfront to discuss:

• the desired length (between ~5 to ~15 min)
