Due to the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases in the Czech Republic, we have decided to change Update Conference Prague 2020 to the online event Update Now 2020. The sessions will be live-streamed on November 23 - 26, 2020.
The online conference Update Now 2020 will offer the opportunity to watch the live-streams of most of the previously announced sessions of the Update Conference Prague 2020, as well as several new sessions, Q&As, and panel discussions. The sessions will focus on the main topics of the conference: .NET - Cloud – Security. Join us at the sessions presented by top experts from Europe, USA, and other countries.
You can look forward to the classic format of the conference next year. Update Conference Prague 2021 will take place on November 18 - 19, 2021 and hopefully, we'll be able to meet together in Prague again.
Most of the audience are .NET developers.
All sessions should be in English. The standard session length is 50 minutes, but if you have something interesting that requires more or less time, feel free to submit and add a note to the proposal.
The main topics of the conference are .NET, cloud and security, but feel free to suggest just anything that is related to .NET development. You can find an inspiration in the agenda from the last year.
COVID-19 Information
We are carefully watching the situation of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Czech government has already started easing the restrictions, and events of up to 500 attendees are now permitted. We sincerely hope that the conference will take place on November 12-13 in the Clarion Congress Hotel Prague as planned and that most of the speakers will be able to come to Prague in person.
We understand that not anyone feels comfortable traveling in these crazy times. That's why all sessions of the conference will be live-streamed so the attendees can stay at home, and the Call for Speakers is open to all speakers no matter whether they want to come to Prague or present from their home.
Please do submit even if you're going to deliver your session remotely, or if you are not sure that it'll be safe to travel in November. If you decide to come to Prague, we'll be more than happy and help you with travel arrangements. We plan to start booking flight tickets in mid-September. In any case, we'll do our best to help you with anything you need to deliver your session.
The conference is prepared to respond quickly if the situation changes. If in-person events are restricted, the conference will switch to the online-only form.
All travel, accommodation (4 nights) and food expenses are covered. If you'd like to bring your spouse or other family member with you in Prague, we'll be happy to help you with arrangements of the travel and accommodation, and of course they will be able to attend the conference, stay at the speaker lounge, and join us on the tour for speakers.
