CFP Description

🎤 Call for Speakers: Share Your Expertise

We’re looking for passionate tech professionals to share their knowledge and experiences. Whether you’re an industry veteran or an up-and-coming talent, if you have insights on these topics, we want to hear from you:

  • AI/ML: Advancing artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • Web Development: Creating cutting-edge digital experiences
  • Mobile Development: Innovating in the mobile space
  • Google Cloud Platform: Leveraging cloud technologies
  • Responsible AI: Exploring ethical considerations in AI

đź“ť Submission Formats: Choose Your Style

  1. Track Talks:
    • 15-minute presentations + 3-minute Q&A
    • Requirement: A concise, engaging abstract (max 300 words)
  2. Workshops:
    • Up to 90-minute interactive sessions
    • Requirements:
      • An informative abstract (max 300 words)
      • Sample content that highlights the hands-on elements

    • Up to 60-minute hands-on coding sessions
    • Requirements:
      • An abstract outlining the coding experience (max 300 words)

Workshops vs. Codelabs: What’s the Difference? While both formats offer hands-on learning experiences, they differ in focus and structure:

  • Workshops are broader interactive sessions that may include discussions, group activities, and coding. They’re ideal for exploring concepts, methodologies, or tools in depth.
  • Codelabs are specifically focused on coding exercises. They provide step-by-step guidance through a particular development task or feature implementation, with participants actively coding throughout the session.

Choose the format that best suits your content and teaching style!
