Submit your talk and apply for a TDC speaker

What is Call4Papers?

Call4Papers is the process through which people can submit their talk proposals to present at The Developer's Conference.

Every talk is linked to a specific track and will be evaluated by the track's technical committee, composed of the people who are coordinating the track.

All talks at The Developer's Conference are selected through Call4Papers, even guests and sponsors must submit their proposals within the Call4Papers deadline.

Do you have questions about how Call4Papers works? We have prepared some materials especially for you, with the aim of answering all your questions on this subject.

Our TDC Call4Papers system

If you are already a speaker or would like to speak then we want to inform you that we made a derivation of an open source project developed by the Devoxx team! Ana Abrantes and Julio Faerman have been constantly working on customizations, but you who are a developer know how it is, right? We may have surprises and we count on your cooperation and patience. If you have any problems, please send an email to cfp@thedevelopersconference.com.br.

And if you want to contribute with improvements and corrections, we made our version of this project available on Github.

Tips

Separamos algumas dicas que a Yara Mascarenhas deixou no blog Globalcoders. In case you haven’t seen:

• Analyze the talk grid of previous editions and invest time in choosing the theme and title;
• Take it seriously: ask friends to do a critical reading of the text and of course, a good spelling check and write a nice description of the talk, not just a line;
• Mini biography consistent with the theme of the talk: Try to send a mini biography that is consistent with the talk submitted. Taking that minibio that you have been using for 5 years and is out of date reduces your chances of victory;
• Be creative and don't bluff. Submit talks on subjects that you have knowledge and experience. Thus, we will have a better event for everyone.

The most important step in being approved as a speaker is undoubtedly submitting at least one talk. So, regardless of anything, participate, risk, disclose.
