Call for Proposals - Now Closed

Thank you to everyone who showed interest and submitted their talks and workshops for DjangoCon Europe 2024, set to take place in the beautiful city of Vigo, Spain. The Call for Proposals (CFP) officially closed at 23:59 (UTC) on February 29th, marking the end of an exciting submission phase.

We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and diversity of the proposals received, covering a wide range of both technical and non-technical topics. It's inspiring to see such vibrant participation from both new and seasoned speakers, reflecting the inclusive and supportive spirit of the Django community.

What Happens Next?
Our review team is now working diligently to evaluate all the submissions. We aim to craft a comprehensive program that caters to all skill levels and interests, ensuring a rewarding experience for all attendees. Selected speakers will be notified, and the full conference schedule will be announced shortly thereafter. Stay tuned for updates!

You may think that your idea is not suited to DjangoCon Europe, or that you couldn't possibly present it well, or that others will do it better. We want to prove you wrong. You should consider reading Sasha's blog post on why you should speak at DjangoCon Europe! This blog post still holds true 8 years later.

If you would like to ask a question, you are always welcome to write the content committee: content@djangocon.eu

bonuses

As a speaker, you will not need to buy a ticket, since you gain free entrance to the conference. If you have bought a ticket in advance before being accepted, we will refund it, of course. If you are not selected as a speaker, don't worry because you are still eligible for an early bird ticket.

For companies or employers: talk's content should not be influenced directly by commercial interests, but if your company or employer has supported your process for creating and giving the talk (for instance allowing you to prepare it in working hours), you are always welcome to mention this support during a talk.

guidelines

Submit your talk in time, no excuses.
All talks will be in English.
Read, understand, and agree to our Code of Conduct. As a speaker, your talk and your slides will need to follow our Code of Conduct – if you are not sure what that means, or have some issue you are not sure about, just ask us!
Make sure you spend some time and effort on your proposal. Typos, lack of formatting, and half finished sentences are unnecessary and make your proposal hard to be taken seriously. (Ask a mentor or a friend to help if this is difficult for you.)
Don't overdo it – two or three paragraphs are plenty of space to give us an idea of your talk, we don't require an entire thesis. ;)
Original content: Since we have little space and lots of submissions, we prefer original content. If your talk is so awesome that you want to give it in multiple places, we'd ask you to consider putting a new spin on it, if at all possible.

selection process

Reviewing the talks and tutorials submitted to a conference can be a daunting task – there is much to consider, and usually there are more great submissions than there are slots available in the conference schedule.

We’d like to make our reviewing process and guidelines transparent to every submitter and attendee, both to show you what will await you during the conference as an attendee, and to help you understand our decisions regarding your submissions as a submitter.

Moreover, we might prioritize speakers from an under-represented or marginalised group in order to increase the social impact of the conference.

We will document our selection process on this website and announce it via X (formerly known as Twitter) @DjangoConEurope, Slack , or LinkedIn.

lightning talks

Not up for a full talk or tutorial? Looking to give your first talk at a conference? Lightning talks are talks of 5 minutes or less, with or without slides, on almost any topic you want! Even if you’re nervous or shy, remember: it’s a MAXIMUM of 5 minutes. Everyday of the conference will feature a lightning talk slot at the end of the day. Sign-ups will happen during the conference.
