React Native Connection is the first French conference entirely dedicated to the community of React Native developers.
We're back in April 2025 for a full day event filled with engaging talks and opportunities to connect with fellow developers from around the world!
Key info
Format types
React Native Connection will feature 20-minute talks, excluding Q&A.
All talks will be recorded and published to YouTube and our async Platform. Feel free to let us know if you don't want your talk to be recorded.
All talks are followed by a 5-minute Q&A session. Questions will come from the MC, who will select the most relevant questions from the audience. Please note that this is done via an online application as we won't pass a microphone around the audience.
Selection Criteria
Our selection criteria are structured around three primary pillars:
We also take some soft skills in consideration:
Although not required, feel free to share your X/Twitter account, GitHub profile or past conferences videos!
I consider myself a representative of diversity or underrepresented communities
You’re more than welcome on stage! In fact, we strongly encourage you to apply to this CfP. According to our Code of Conduct Tech Connection does not make any discrimination based on the people. We select solely based on the relevance of topics, the quality of talk proposals, and the skills mentioned previously.
Process
The whole process - from the CfP to presenting at the Conference - is composed of 5 steps.
1. CfP Submission Window
2. Talk Selection
As soon as the CfP closes, the Content Team will start the selection process, step by step:
The duration of the review process primarily depends on the volume of the proposals we receive. Given that this can be time-consuming, we prefer not to commit to specific dates. However, all the content team and the Tech Connection team have been speakers in the past and understand the stress of waiting for feedback on a Call for Papers. Rest assured, we aim to minimize this waiting period as much as possible.
3. Talk Preparation
Before starting the preparation phase, please anticipate as much as possible to make sure you have everything to be able to travel to France (valid passport and visa according to where you're travelling from). If you have any trouble getting a visa or else, please let us know as soon as possible.
If you’re at this step: congratulations you’re now a confirmed speaker. We’ll quickly get back to you to manage all the logistics, travels and accommodation.
Meanwhile, feel free to reach us for any question you may have or for help prepare your talk.
About one month before the conference, we’ll make a talk review call. This 45-ish-minute call will cover:
If you need additional help or feedback: don’t hesitate to ask for an early talk review call. It will help you to receive early feedback and gives us time to iterate with you on multiple calls.
4. The day before the conference
The day before the conference brings two major moments in your experience as a speaker:
5. Conference day
We ask you to be in the venue at least 1h30 before your talk (for first speakers in the morning: 45 minutes is enough). However, we strongly encourage you to attend and enjoy the whole conference. As a speaker, you’re our guest.
All the last-minute details about conference day will be given at the speaker's dinner!
Your Slides
Unless specified otherwise, our projector supports an aspect ratio of 16:9, with a 1080p resolution. The venue room will be dark during the presentation, so adjust your colors accordingly (for example: avoid a full white slide after 5 minutes of dark content).
Please favor large font sizes for an adapted visibility and don’t forget considering high contrast between your background and your foreground colors in order to provide an accessible experience to the entirety of the audience. When audience reads your slide, they don’t usually listen to you. Help them by making slides as readable as possible.
Also, we recommend avoiding including too much code in the same slide to avoid people trying to understand your code while you are speaking. Please note that font sizes, basic accessibility rules and text density will be reviewed during our review
