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:

• This year we are adding 25 minute Spotlight Sessions. These are meant for quick introduction to a topic or a laser focus on one aspect of a topic
• Breakout sessions are 60 minutes and Workshops are 6 hours
• Workshops are on Wednesday, July 22nd 2026

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"
