About

Reversim Summit is a community conference for developers and by developers. We aim to present excellent, useful & inspiring content to everyone in the software development ecosystem, namely developers, managers, QA, data scientists, SRE and ops.  

Our 2026 summit audience consists predominantly of engineers, engineering management and product managers.

Our goal is to streamline the submission and review process, while maintaining superb quality; if you have any feedback or questions, please email us at rs26team@googlegroups.com.

Suggested topics

Reversim Summit is looking for submissions on all things software development.

We encourage and welcome deep technical submissions, as well as sessions relating to software development such as product management, culture and business.

We prefer sessions that can appeal to our diverse audience.

We prefer sessions based on personal experience and learnings.

We encourage innovative and unique topics.

General HOWTOs and 101s are discouraged. Marketing and sales pitches are unwanted, as are self promotion sessions in disguise. Please avoid submitting generic "how I did foo/bar with GPT".  

Ideas for topics include, but not limited to:

• Front end / securing websites / mobile development    
• Quality / testing / monitoring / alerting / automation
• Artificial intelligence / machine learning / data science
• Data / at rest / in transit
• Infrastructure / operations / deployments / internal tools
• Cloud / virtualization / containers / serverless
• Distributed systems / microservices / geo distribution / DR / availability
• Low level / kernel / drivers / file systems / network
• Software design / programming languages / API design / software fundamentals
• Open source projects / technical / maintainership / personal experience / culture
• Customer facing development / UX / design / product / marketing
• Culture / scaling organizations / management / motivation and employee engagement
• Education / teaching / initiatives / government
• Developing and using AI and GenAI systems

Proposals

We are looking for proposals in these formats:

• Full Featured sessions (30 minutes). Full feature are frontal presentations of roughly 30 minutes.
• Lightning Sessions (5 minutes). Lightning sessions are speedy 5 min sessions. They are presented in a series in which each presenter has exactly 20 slides, 15 sec per slide, slides are auto advanced. There are no breaks between lightning sessions. It's fun, it's speedy, it's concise and it's breathtaking :-)

First time submitting? No problem.

We encourage anyone and everyone to consider submitting a session. You should be able to speak in front of a large audience and you should have an interesting story to tell, based on your professional experience.

The moderators team will be happy to assist new speakers in turning an idea into submission, and to pair, followup and mentor once a proposal is accepted.

Submission guidelines

• Write a clear and concise proposal. The audience should know what to expect when they step into your session.          
• For our take on what makes good content and proposals, see:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F09My4646hI 
• Avoid sales, marketing pitches, or self-promotion.
• The conference is held in Hebrew, and sessions should be delivered in Hebrew. If a speaker does not speak the language, the session will be presented in English.
• A speaker may submit up to three (3) proposals.
• A session may be presented by up to two speakers. All speakers must be indicated on submission.
• To get a sense of accepted submissions, see content from our previous conferences.

Review process

• Once the Call for Papers closes, the moderation team begins reviewing proposals.
• Reviewing is not blind: reviewers see submitter names and affiliations.
•  Moderators may reach out to submitters with questions or requests for clarification. This may include asking for a detailed outline, supporting material, a draft deck, or a brief call to better understand the proposal. The clearer the picture of how the talk will play out, the more confident moderators can be in selecting it.
• All submitters will be notified of their proposal status before the schedule is published.
• Some submitters may be asked if they'd accept a waitlist spot, to be scheduled in case of last-minute agenda changes.

• Once your session is accepted, the moderation team works closely with you from acceptance through the conference. This is a collaborative process - not a checkpoint - and your engagement matters as much as your content.
• Between acceptance and the conference, expect substantial work on your talk: an early draft, feedback rounds with your moderators, a revised version, and self-rehearsals leading up to the in-person dry-run.
• You'll need to participate in at least one in-person dry-run, where you'll receive substantive feedback on your talk from your moderators and fellow speakers. We hold dry-runs on a small number of pre-set dates; you'll typically be offered a choice between two - your availability matters.
• Withdrawal of an accepted session is rare but possible. It typically happens for one of two reasons: a speaker becomes unreachable in the run-up to the conference, or the dry-run process surfaces that the talk isn't ready and the speaker and moderation team agree it shouldn't go ahead. We'd rather catch this before the day than on stage.
