This list of topics is only indicative, in the application there are many more categories. In any case submissions that do not fit into any of these categories are also welcome, provided that they are relevant or inspirational for the tech community.

SESSIONS

You can submit your proposal for 2 different kind of sessions:

- tech talk 45 minutes (Q&A included): it's a standard talk where you can introduce a technology for example.

- tech talk 15', also called lightining talk: it's a very short presentation lasting only a few minutes, that must be very focused on a specific feature of a technology or a very quick use case

For all sessions, speakers are required to be present at the venue, it is not possible to pre-register or hold an online session.

LANGUAGE

Sessions can be held in English or Italian. The language in which you prefer to hold the talk is requested in the submission.

SUBMISSION STRUCTURE

Topics
We appreciate novelty and real case studies: take into account what could be useful to our audience, according to your experience. Also, if you are planning to present a talk you have already delivered elsewhere, try to add a twist, a fresh touch.
The audience of our tech conference is getting more and more international and skilled every year: our main aim is to offer them a real opportunity of growth in a multicultural oriented environment.

Talk title
The title of your talk is probably the hardest part of your application: it has to capture the attendees’ attention and spark their interest. Keep it short, memorable, compelling, with a touch of personality, hinting at the subject and focus of your talk.

Abstract
Please note that the abstract field can contain a maximum number of characters (spaces included), so if you exceed this limit it will be cut from the system.

Levels

Beginner: Introductory talk on a cutting edge technology/framework/language etc. Keep always in mind, even when you are delivering a beginner session, that your audience is going to be made up of IT, experienced professionals: so avoid presenting the very basics of your topic.
Intermediate: A detailed analysis on some aspects of well-known technologies, issues, topics.
Advanced: A deep dive talk for a keen and skillful audience. This is the talk you’d wish to attend to learn something new on your key topic.
Non-technical: A wide-ranging and far-reaching proposal on cross-cutting themes: personal career experience and points of view will be highly appreciated.

First-time speaker?
If you are not sure how to craft the perfect application or how to deliver a session that rocks, feel free to contact us: our Program Committee will be happy to review your proposal and provide feedback.

SELECTION PROCESS

The proposals are collected through a public Call for Papers and they are evaluated separately by both tech communities and our Program Committee.
The agenda is created by the Program Committee, on the basis of the outcome of the voting process and the topics chosen for the conference.

What do our attendees look for?

Our conference attracts developers, IT professionals and tech lovers with diverse professional backgrounds. We are looking for talks which provide them with:

Showcase of technical excellence, latest research and cutting-edge technologies
Hands-on knowledge that could be useful for their job
Best practices and case studies that can help them become better developers
Code! Remember to show some lines of code and some demos
Inspirational talks and visions on how technology is shaping the future
Talks with great contents, which do not hold a hidden marketing pitch
