We are excited to invite submissions for talks on all things related to platform engineering. We're open-minded and eager to hear from you. Whether you're sharing innovative use cases, success stories, or even lessons learned from challenges and failures, we want to hear it all. We encourage a broad range of perspectives and experiences.

While we are open to a variety of topics, here are a few suggestions to guide your submission:

Productizing Internal Platforms and Optimizing Developer Experience
This topic focuses on building self-service platforms that reduce cognitive load and streamline workflows through modular design and clear APIs. It includes adopting a platform-first strategy to align development, operations, and security teams. Submissions can explore how to treat internal platforms as products, drive iterative improvements based on user feedback, and ensure alignment with organizational goals.

Building Scalable and Manageable Infrastructure
Submissions in this area should discuss best practices for developing scalable, cloud-native infrastructures. Topics may include simplifying the management of complex, distributed systems to ensure consistency and efficiency, as well as implementing tools and processes to seamlessly integrate infrastructures within an organization.

Integrating Platform Engineering with Cloud, DevOps, and Security
This topic explores the integration of platform engineering with cloud and DevOps practices to accelerate delivery, enhance collaboration, and maintain security. Submissions can cover designing platforms with built-in security and compliance, balancing governance with usability, and leveraging observability tools to monitor platform health, guide improvements, and address operational challenges.

Cultivating a Platform Engineering Culture
This theme focuses on the cultural aspects of platform engineering, emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and alignment across teams. Submissions can address building a culture that prioritizes learning and growth, fostering cross-functional collaboration, overcoming silos, and creating shared ownership of platform initiatives. Topics may also include overcoming challenges in managing platform engineering teams, such as aligning team goals, addressing technical debt, and creating an environment that supports both individual and team success.

We also welcome any other topics you see as relevant and valuable to the platform engineering world.
