CfP rules

• We don‘t allow product presentations or company marketing pitches.
• You are not allowed to switch the topic or content of the talk after the CfP submission period is over, except in emergencies. If the topic is swapped after the CfP is concluded, the talk needs to be reviewed by the program committee again.
• All co-speakers have to be declared before the CfP submission period ends. Co-speakers that are added after the CfP is concluded do not receive free conference tickets or accommodation, and we reserve the right to reject the addition of co-speakers after the CfP.
• We require direct email contact with our speakers for planning purposes.
• By submitting your proposal, you consent that your talk title, abstract and description, along with your photo and biography, will be made publicly available if your session is accepted. Talks will be recorded, and recordings will be made publicly available on our YouTube channel.

Guidelines

Make sure you take the following guidelines to heart:

• Titles should be descriptive and be less than 60 characters long
• The abstract should serve as a tl;dr for your session, giving a brief summary of the contents and what the audience can learn.
• The session description is the most important part of your proposal, since talks will be rated by our program committee mainly on the basis of your description. A good description contains a detailed and focused outline of your talk, explains why your topic is relevant, what you will be talking about and what the audience will learn.
• Please don’t include your biography or personal details in your abstract or description, since personal information will be removed before the review process starts to avoid bias.
• Title, abstract, and description of your talk will be visible to everyone and will be used on our talk description pages if your proposal is accepted, so be sure to write a clear and concise text in full sentences and don’t exclusively use bullet points.
