There are a lot of conferences out who are looking for speakers. Placing a talk is still hard. Before we even get to the point of placing a talk, we need to come up with the hardest part, what to talk about.
Let’s dive into a Road trip, beginning with undoubtedly the hardest part: how to come up with a Topic to talk about.
Continuing from there, we move forward on how to draft the proposal for the talk - I will share a bit from both sides - what a speaker wants to deliver and what a program committee wants to see.
We will also take a quick look on how to find the events that might be interesting and how to get support.
In the end, let's also chat about how to deal with rejections - as they will come.
