Back for another year – help us shape the 2026 edition! We're looking for fresh voices and seasoned speakers alike to deliver 45‑minute sessions, 25‑minute lightning talks, 75 minute hands-on labs or take part in a moderated debate on:

• Technical Deep‑Dives – architectures, low code, no code, pro code, vibe code, or demo‑driven explorations.
• Business Impact – governance, adoption, ROI, case studies, and strategic insights.
• Personal Journeys & Soft Skills – career pivots, leadership, accessibility, diversity, productivity, public speaking, human in tech.

As organizers, we seek to forge a diverse lineup of speakers from both Hungary and abroad. We are looking for topics at all levels (lv100 entry to lv400 expert) - just make sure to include the What?, Why?, and How? details of your session, plus an engaging yet informative title to help your future audience!

Why Speak at Shift+Enter Summit?

• Amplify your ideas – share what you know with a room full of curious, engaged practitioners from Hungary and beyond.
• Build your reputation – get in front of a growing Central European Microsoft community that values real expertise.
• Connect with your people – join fellow speakers at our appreciation dinner and our participants throughout the day.
• Late summer Budapest – early September still carries those warm evenings and terrace vibes the city is known for.

Note: As a non‑profit event we cannot cover travel or accommodation costs. Speakers receive a complimentary event pass, an invite to our appreciation dinner, and plenty of Hungarian hospitality to get you acquainted with the Hungarian community!

Tips to draft a great session title & description:

• We review sessions anonymously, so please keep this field free of personal details.
• Make sure your description and title is understandable for the Content Team
• Feel free to use AI to bounce ideas back and forth or to craft your session / session title / session description, but feel free to think as well
• Think as a participant: that title & description will be the only thing they'll see before their session. Is it clear enough? Does it cover your session?
• Please don't write a novel, make it concise (also not only 2 sentences!)
• Consider the takeaways / messages you'd like to give your audience
• The "hot topics" usually get a lot of submissions, we encourage you to think about new ways to deliver your message, bring in interactivity, move away from the demos / presentations (if it's different than other tech sessions, and you don't want "give it away" in the Description, use the note for organizers)
• No sales pitches, please!

We strongly believe content selection should be fair and open for everyone - which is why we review sessions completely anonymously. Submissions are evaluated on content, clarity, relevance, and session topic fit, not on your employer, job title, awards, or whether we know you. Please keep personal details out of your title and description, as they may lead to disqualification.

Important dates:

• May 15 - Call for Speakers ends
