LEVELS

Codemotion talks are sorted in 4 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 skilful 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.
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. Keep this in mind when choosing the level of your paper proposal.

Our conference is made by several parallel tracks: each Session is 40 minutes long.

Every session will be recorded and the slides will be shared on SlideShare.

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.

All speakers who have applied will be contacted via email: the selected ones about two months before the conference, those who were not selected about one month before the conference.

GUIDELINES

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.

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.

Culture & Language
In case you are giving a talk in a place where the dominant language or culture is not your own, we recommend to find someone who represents your target audience in order to review your slides and rehearse your talk.

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.
