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 of 600 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, and 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. Send us an email to speakers@codemotion.it and we will try to reply to you as soon as possible.

Your Speaker Profile

Please, remember to keep updated your profile with the current job title and a high quality picture. This will help us to do a better promotion of your talk

Guidelines for a good quality picture:

• Quality: high quality and colour image; real photos, no caricatures
• Description: intact half-length figure (i.e. no cut parts, face clearly visible, no external objects)
• Dimension: minimum size 600px short side
• Backround: neutral or uniformç

When will you contact me?

Depending on the amount of proposals, we will try to contact speakers as soon as we close the Call 4 Papers. However, it will take longer to close the agenda , and sometimes we need some backup talks in case someone declines or cancels at the last moment. There are 3 situations for your proposal(s):

1. Your proposal is approved, so you will receive an email confirming that we selected your talk, and next steps (if you sent more than one, assume that the other proposals are discarded). There can be at least 3 windows of communication from our side, matching when we publish new speakers on our site.
2. Your proposal is waiting for approval: meaning that it didn’t pass the first (or second cut), and it’s still under review from the organisation. Ideally this situation can last up to 2 months before the date of the conference

Your proposal is not accepted, you will receive an email soon (if you haven’t already, check your spam folder). Depending on the amount of proposals, emails can be more personal. But if you have questions, or doubts about it, feel free to contact us for feedback at speakers@codemotion.it
Deadline for this could be up to 2 months before the conference date (e.g.: For the Madrid Conference, you should have received an email by March 9th).
