We want YOU to speak at DevFest WI!
DevFest WI,
https://www.devfestwi.com/, is a conference for all technologists, organized by GDG Madison and volunteers from the Madison tech community. It will take place on Thursday, August 22nd, 2024 at the Memorial Union in Madison, WI.
At this time, we are planning for this to be an in-person conference.
Our conference theme is inclusivity: how to create development teams and software products that are welcoming to everyone.
We are seeking presentations on a broad range of topics related to inclusivity; we are particularly interested in talks on topics that you, the speaker, are excited about, and that can be understood and appreciated by non-specialists.
Here's a list of some options:
* online privacy and security
* accessibility
* localization
* web performance
* diversifying teams
* tech interviews
* empathetic code review
* mentoring and teaching
* cross-cultural design
* AI and ML
* neurodiversity,
* tech talks / public speaking
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis; submissions will be accepted until Sunday, May 5th, 2024.
As a relatively small conference, we are unable to provide funds for travel, but we are excited to provide free entrance to the conference, as well as a small speaker honorarium. (The exact amount depends on the year, but we expect it to be $50 to $100.)
