What we look for:

• Content above all else - we're looking for topics that will be of interest to our attendees, regardless of who submits them. 
• Sessions on all aspects of software creation (design, development, management, etc) on any technology stack are welcome!
• We take great pride in the number of sessions that we offer, so getting a good variety of different topics is very important.

What you need to know:

• Breakout sessions are 60 minutes and Workshops are 6 hours
• Workshops are on Wednesday, July 23rd 2025

Submission Guidelines

• Title - Make sure your title makes it clear what your session is about. While it is tempting to go for the pun/attention-grabbing statement it is important to remember that attendees are quickly scanning titles when making their decisions on which sessions to attend. * ex. Bad - "Your Javascript is dirty, BRO!!!!" Much Better - "Implementing SOLID Principals in Javascript" 
• Description / Abstract - Be descriptive and complete. Your description should make it clear what value an attendee will receive for attending your session. It is highly recommended that you include a concise summary that describes the attendee take-aways. * ex - "Attendees will leave with a much better understanding of the tools, techniques, and libraries available to write higher quality and more maintainable Javascript"

If you are selected

• Out-of-town speakers will have one night per session in the hotel covered.

Speaker Travel Expenses: This year we have a limited budget to cover travel expenses for speakers. If you require covered travel expenses to speak at the conference please reach out to Ken Versaw at ken@amegala.com. The travel budget is not big enough to cover all speakers so we will need to be strategic with it. Any travel reimbursement needs to be approved BEFORE session selection.

Workshop Speaker Remuneration: We know how much work and effort goes into creating a full-day workshop. Workshop speakers will receive $20/attendee in their workshop.

We have a limited budget to cover travel expenses. please reach out to Ken Versaw at ken@amegala.com if travel expense reimbursement is required
