Hi everyone!

🎤 Call for Speakers: Data TGIF 2025

(https://www.meetup.com/data-tgif) Ready to kick off your weekend with meaningful conversations, fresh data insights, and a welcoming global community? Data TGIF Call For Speaker is back after 4 long years in order to line up (almost) everyone who applied to. Get on stage, online, curious, and hydrated with the beverage of your choice!

We’re looking for speakers who are passionate about data in all its forms: analytics, engineering, visualization, machine learning, governance, project management or DEI - you name it. What you'll speak about is your choice. If you submit, chances are that you'll be speaking, somewhen, at least. We will contact you and ask you for possible dates. Remember, however, that the waiting list may be long - last time, some people had to wait for more 4 years! Please make sure that you have read and abide the code of conduct found here: https://www.meetup.com/data-tgif

First principle is FIFO: First in, first out! So if you want to speak soon, be quick and submit! The topic can be decided later, so if you don't know what to speak about yet, use "to be defined". 

Some of you may end up to be a bit lucky if we ask people to jump in, so our CFS will serve for this, too. Therefore, we will not ask you for a specific date, but rather talk to you first to make sure you'll have a date that fits you. Please be patient, we won't contact you all at once, but according to the order of the submission list. So, depending on when you've submitted, it may be taking a while until you'll get contacted.  

Whether you're a first-time speaker or a seasoned presenter, we welcome fresh perspectives and diverse voices. If you are a first-time speaker, we will prioritize you, also if you are a speaker for DEI or represent a minority. If you are a first time speaker, we can support you by mentoring you for your speaking for the first time, if you want this. 

🧠 What We’re After

Our speaking format is generally about 30 mins (no hard timeframe though!). If you're speaking about DEI (Diversity and Equity and Inclusion), you will be able to speak for 1 hour by default.

Tech talks should be: Thought-provoking and inspiring talks (ca. 30 - 45 min) 

* Something about Microsofts Data Stack. That can be SQL Server, Azure Data, MS Fabric, Power BI and more. Exception: If you are having a DEI (Diversity, Equity & Integration) talk, try to get some tech stuff into it, but that is no hard rule. We like to have DEI experts with no technical background, too. 

* Practical insights, bold ideas, or stories from the data trenches, but NOT: specific case studies from a single customer, but 1 customer is a specific use case that usually cannot be applied to others.  

* Sessions need to be tailored for a friendly, engaged, and cross-disciplinary audience

* Your attendees will be from wherever you they are in the world

💡 Please refrain from sales pitches! Please share substance and support learning for everyone, and a sprinkle of TGIF energy.

🌐 All sessions are held live online and in English, and we encourage interactive elements like polls or Q&A.

Don’t miss your chance to inspire and be inspired.

You'll find more information on https://www.meetup.com/data-tgif 

Best wishes your organizers: Kay Sauter and Deepthi Goguri.
