topics

Django internals and challenges in modern web development.
Wild ideas, clever hacks, surprising or cool use cases.
Improving Django and Python developers' lives.
Pushing Django to its limits.
Fundamentals, in a modern light.
The Django and Python community, culture, history, past, present & future, the why, the who, and the what of it all.
Security.
Whatever you deem appropriate – it's your conference, after all!

You may think that your idea is not suited to DjangoCon Europe, that you couldn't possibly present it well, or that others will do it better. We want to prove you wrong.

If you would like to ask a question, you are always welcome to write to the content committee: content@djangocon.eu

bonuses

As a speaker, you will not need to buy a ticket since you will gain free entrance to the conference. Of course, if you bought a ticket in advance before being accepted, we will refund it. If you are not selected as a speaker, don't worry; you are still eligible for an early bird ticket.

For companies or employers: The content of a talk should not be directly influenced by commercial interests, but if your company or employer has supported your process for creating and giving the talk (for instance, allowing you to prepare it during working hours), you are always welcome to mention this support during a talk.

guidelines

Submit your talk on time; no excuses.
All talks will be in English.
Read, understand, and agree to our Code of Conduct. As a speaker, your talk and slides will need to follow our Code of Conduct — if you are unsure what that means or have some issue you are unsure about, just ask us!
Make sure you spend some time and effort on your proposal. Typos, lack of formatting, and half-finished sentences are unnecessary and make it hard for your proposal to be taken seriously. Ask a mentor or a friend to help if this is difficult for you.
Don't overdo it — Two or three paragraphs are plenty of space to give us an idea of your talk, and we don't require an entire thesis. ;)
Original content: Since we have little space and many submissions, we prefer original content. If your talk is so awesome that you want to give it in multiple places, we'd ask you to consider putting a new spin on it, if possible.

selection process

Reviewing the talks and tutorials submitted to a conference can be daunting — there is much to consider, and usually, there are more great submissions than slots available in the conference schedule.

We document how we compose the program, how reviewing works and how we decide on the selection process page, so that our reasoning is transparent to every submitter and attendee.

Moreover, we might prioritize speakers from underrepresented or marginalized groups to increase the conference's social impact.

lightning talks

Are you not up to a full talk or tutorial? Are you looking to give your first talk at a conference? Lightning talks are 5 minutes or less on almost any topic you want, with or without slides! Even if you're nervous or shy, remember: it's a MAXIMUM of 5 minutes. Every day of the conference will feature a lightning talk slot at the end of the day. Sign-ups will happen during the conference.

Please note: while lightning talks are informal and flexible, they must still adhere to the conference's Code of Conduct.
