Speak at next.app devCon 

next.app devCon is where the entire mobile and app developer community comes together to shape what is next. We host dedicated events under one roof for React Native, Swift, Android, Kotlin, Flutter, Mobile Games, XR, and mobile app security. Your real experience, hard lessons, bold opinions, and practical knowledge deserve a stage. If it matters to the community, we want to hear it.

How We Evaluate Submissions


Once the Call for Speakers closes, our independent Program Committee begins the voting process. Because we host multiple events, each track has its own dedicated Program Committee. This means industry experts in your specific tech stack will review your pitch. They vote to select the most valuable topics for their community. 

Tell Us How You Want to Speak 

• Keynote: For talks with the widest appeal, designed to kick off the day or close it out with impact. Keynotes set the tone for the entire conference. Due to limited slots, all Keynote submissions will automatically be considered for standard session slots as well. If you have an idea that speaks to the whole community, we want to hear it. 
• Lightning Talk (20 min):
A fast, focused talk. One sharp idea, zero fluff. Perfect for a quick insight, a lesson learned, or a demo that doesn’t need a full session. 
• Session (40 min):
The classic conference talk. Dive deep into a topic, share your experience, or walk through a technical concept that developers can take back to their work immediately. 
• Workshop (80 min):
A hands-on, interactive session where attendees build or learn something by doing. You lead, they follow along. Come with a clear outcome and leave the audience with something they didn’t have before. 
• Panel Discussion:
A moderated stage conversation between a selected group of experts in a full conference room. Submit your topic, and we will work with you to find the right co-panelists and a moderator from within the speaker lineup. 
• Unconference-roundtable:
An intimate, circle-format discussion for 30 to 50 people where everyone participates, not just watches. No stage, no slides. If your topic sparks conversation more than a presentation, this is your format. 
• Office Hours:
An informal 1-on-1 or small group session where attendees come to you with questions. No slides needed. Think of it as an open conversation at a table. You are the expert; they bring the problems. Usually planned if you put your booth. 

Tips to Make Your Submission Stand Out 

We receive hundreds of submissions. Here is how to make yours appealing to the Program Committee: 

1. Make your title do the work:
A clever title is great, but the committee and attendees should immediately understand what your talk is about. 
2. Accurate talk description: Ensure that your talk description accurately reflects your topic. We recommend including a clear learning outcome and explaining why your topic is important. Three to five concrete learning points make a huge difference, especially when we receive multiple submissions on the same topic (and we do, often). 
3. Show your real experience:
Use the Additional notes for the program committee field to tell us your actual experience with the tech. You do not need to be a world-leading expert to get accepted. Deploying at scale? Built a side project? Learning in public? Tell us. The program committee values authentic experience over impressive credentials.
4. Have you given this talk before?: In the same Additional notes field, tell us whether you have given this talk before. Let us know where and how it was received. More importantly, tell us what's new or different this time. A well-tested talk that has evolved is a strong submission. 

Video and Recording Policy

All sessions will be recorded and published on the next.app devCon YouTube channel, freely accessible to the entire global developer community. Video transcripts will be searchable on the community platform, giving your talk a long shelf life beyond the event itself.

By submitting via Sessionize, you agree to have your session recorded and published.
