Hints For Successful Submissions
From our co-founder Isabel Drost:
- Tell us what you are talking about. Provide some information on which direction you'll be heading
- Don't be too detailed. Make sure the abstract correctly summarizes your talk, making it catchy and nice to read helps if the content is solid
- We try to find those speakers that have not only an interesting topic to talk about but are also a pleasure to listen to, who can successfully get their point across. It helps us if you list which conferences you've spoken at in the past, any videos of previous talks as well
- General piece of advice: If that's your first talk, get some practice at local meetups
- Make sure your talk is novel
- Finally: When drafting your bio make sure to include details that explain why you are the perfect expert to talk about the topic at hand
