GraphQL Summit is the place to hear about important advances in GraphQL’s open source community, and learn best practices from those already using GraphQL in production applications.
The conference will be held at Bespoke, October 25-26, in the heart of San Francisco. We expect at least 600 attendees this year from a mix of company sizes and previous GraphQL experience.
The format of GraphQL Summit will be a single track over two full conference days, with a blend of 30-minutes talks, panels, and 7-minute lightning talks.
Check out the GraphQL Summit 2016 site for the agenda, videos, and photos from last year’s conference.
CFP Description
What we’re looking for
We look forward to seeing proposals from both individuals working on open source libraries to developers using GraphQL in large organizations. Talks tailored to GraphQL newcomers are welcome, but we plan on weighting the agenda more heavily in favor of technical topics for those with familiar with its core concepts.
Diversity is very important to us, and we are committed to delivering a well-balanced program both in terms of content and of speaker backgrounds. Previous speaking experience is helpful, but not required if your proposal is really compelling.
To have a better chance of being accepted, keep your proposals pitch-free and focus on technical stories or lessons, rather than products. Attendees should will walk away from your talk with knowledge they can immediately put to use and the resources to learn more.
