2023 Call for speakers is live!

We’re deep into planning our 2023 conference, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

Date: Thursday, Aug. 24th
Location: UW-Madison Memorial Union

Our theme is inclusivity: how do we create development teams and software products that are welcoming to everyone?

We are seeking presentations on a broad range of topics related to inclusivity, including, but not limited to: online privacy and security, accessibility, localization, web performance, diversifying teams, tech interviews, empathetic code review, mentoring and teaching, cross-cultural design, AI and ML, neurodiversity, tech talks / public speaking and more.

We are particularly interested in talks on topics that the you, the speaker, are excited about and that can be understood and appreciated by non-specialists.

Deadlines

Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis. Submissions will close on July 15, 2023.

Speaker perks

As a relatively small conference, we are unable to provide funds for travel. But we are excited to provide a small speaker honorarium (typically $50 to $100), and speakers also receive a free ticket to the conference.
