This is an ongoing call for papers - vJUG aims to meet once a month globally 

Session Formats​

You can submit proposals for one of the following:

• Keynote (45min) - Inspiring and thought provoking session. 
• Conference session (40mins including Q&A) – On a range of different technologies, practices and methodologies.
• Lightning Talk (5min) - Sessions designed for speakers to give a quickfire view of a particular subject
• Tools-in-action (5-10min) - Sessions focused on demonstrating technical development tools or solutions.
• BOF (1hour) Informal sessions that give a chance for like-minded attendees to gather and discuss tools, topics and technologies in a relaxed setting.

**Note**

Please provide a detailed abstract. Abstracts that do not clearly define the talk or are less than a paragraph will not be considered.

Abstracts that are vague and do not include in-depth details will not be considered.

Provide your top three (3) key takeaways for attendees.

Diverse Backgrounds

If the Java industry hasn't included you or others like you, please include this in your proposal. We want to make a space for the perspectives of people that are underrepresented in or excluded from technology: people of color, women, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, students, and many more. 

Absolutely no vendor pitches

Many of our most successful talks are by people who sell products in the same area they’re speaking about. If your talk is focused on promoting or selling your product,, it’s a bad fit for vJUG.
