As the largest independent developer conference, DockerCon brings together a community of developers, contributors and partners to share, teach, and collaborate to grow the understanding and capabilities of modern application developers. DockerCon is a highly-concentrated learning experience that shows developers what’s new and what’s possible with Docker, and how to take advantage of these innovations right away to get their jobs done better and faster. Sessions are free, interactive, and are designed to flexible consumption on the day of the event and beyond.
DockerCon also brings together the companies whose platforms, tools, and services integrate tightly with Docker to deliver innovation applications efficiently. DockerCon attendees can hear from these companies; ask questions about how they integrate with Docker, learn more about their product, and evaluate the tools and technologies they will need to build apps today and tomorrow. Companies participating in DockerCon include the largest cloud platform providers, companies delivering CI/CD, Security and Developer tools to services providers who can help companies craft app development and delivery strategies.
And throughout the experience, members of the Docker community will have chances to ask questions of the experts at Docker and across the community, network with one another, and build or rekindle relationships, and even friendships among their peers.
CFP Description
DockerCon 2022 will be an interactive virtual-only event with pre-recorded keynote presentations, instructor-led workshops, interesting demos, panel discussions, one on one interviews, live entertainment, and of course, networking opportunities for the community.
Accepted sessions will be pre-recorded and streamed during the event. Speakers will be able to chat with their audience while their pre-recorded session is broadcast, and they will be available to answer questions in real-time
We invite paper with abstract submissions for new and original workshops or demonstration presentations on the following conference themes:
-
Getting Started/How to: How to get started with Docker for application development, particularly for JavaScript, Python, Java, or TypeScript apps. Getting started with local app development using Docker Compose or Kubernetes for a specific types of app, including web front-ends, back-end services, AI/ML, data analytics, event streaming, and IoT / embedded.
-
Modernizing Monoliths: Best practices modernizing existing monolithic ASP.NET or J2EE apps using Docker.
-
Dev Team Productivity: Best practices and case studies for boosting development team productivity. Local-cloud hybrid development patterns. Docker Development Environments in practice.
- Securing the Software Supply Chain: Application build pipeline best practices; shifting security concerns left to developers; case studies using Docker Official Images.
-
The Bleeding Edge: Emerging new app types or patterns using Docker including serverless / FaaS, WASM, and blockchain / web3.
- Black Belt & Cool Hacks: We expect these sessions to be code heavy, demo-driven, advanced technical deep dives. From Docker internals to advanced container management, security and networking, this track should delight most container ninjas!

Submission Guidelines
Please ensure your presentations’ title is clearly stated, and is partnered with a focused abstract. We strongly suggest you include in your submission any desired learning outcomes from the audience. Questions may be submitted directly through PaperCall once your paper has been uploaded. Please ensure your PaperCall information is accurate and up to date. Submission deadline is March 3rd at 5:00pm PST.
We strongly recommend you connect your presentation to the learner by supporting it with supplemental materials such as awesome-compose, GitHub repos, and/ or Docker Dev Environments. During the review process, we will prioritize those submissions that have these supporting materials or, at a minimum, a framework for these supporting materials.
Review Process
All papers are committee reviewed by Docker staff, including engineers, and Docker Captains. Submissions are not anonymous. Special consideration will be given to new presenters, underrepresented members of the community, and papers with social impact content. Our reviewing process and reviews are not open to the public.
DockerCon 2022 is placing importance on a high quality pre-recorded video experience for our attendees, therefore, if you are selected to be a presenter of a workshop or demo, you will be sent additional instructions and assistance for recording your video. Pre-recorded video deadline is Friday, April 8th, 2022.
DockerCon is an inclusive online event. Diversity and inclusion make the Docker community strong. We encourage participation from the most varied and diverse backgrounds possible and want to be very clear about where we stand. We will not accept discrimination of any kind in submitted content.
