Differentiate your proposal

Pro tip for everyone submitting to tech conferences.

Include a video of a previous talk or create one pitching your talk.

Delivery is just as important as the topic.
Don't assume the program committee is familiar with you. You need to convince the PC that your submission is of sufficient quality.

CFP Tip 9: Product pitches = rejection

🔸 Please don't send us sales pitches

🔸 Your product might be amazing but this isn't the right place for it

🔸 Dev tools & demos are welcome but keep it balanced & informative

🔸 Share knowledge, not a sales deck

Good luck! Submit here ➡️ devoxxuk26.cfp.dev

CFP Tip 7: Don't upset anyone

🔸Keep your proposals clean & respectful

🔸 Profanities, inflammatory or sexualised language don't belong here

🔸 If you're unsure if something in your proposal crosses the line, leave it out

🔸 No negativity or hate here please

CFP tip 5: Use AI with caution

🔸Use AI as a tool not the author

🔸Reviewers get tired of reading similar-sounding
submissions

🔸AI is good for spell-checking & grammar

🔸Fact-check anything AI generates for you

CFP Tip 4: the first two sentences are vital!

🔸Keep your title focused
🔸People skim-read the title of an abstract to choose which sessions to go to
🔸This is your shop window - make your opening sentences engaging & clear

CFP Tip 2: The talk title

🔸First impressions matter so make it interesting, snappy and relevant

🔸 Ensure the title reflects the content of your talk

🔸Make it stand out, especially if it’s on a topic that is covered often
