Let’s Test South Africa will take place at the beautiful Valley Lodge and Spa in Magaliesburg, South Africa. Close to major attractions in the historic region of the magical Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site just outside Johannesburg and Pretoria.
The conference runs for 2.5 days between 25-27 November and will have an intentional focus on the craft and community of Context Driven Testing. We will showcase not only South African talent, but also host new and familiar faces and minds from the global community.
We are looking for keynotes, workshops and experience-based talks that will inspire thinking, grow skills and facilitate meaningful interactions! Most of all, we want to create a space where people have fun and are able to develop the craft and community of testing in SA!
Accepted proposals will give you the opportunity to attend the full conference free of charge (this includes all meals and accommodation for Sunday and Monday nights). We also have a travel allowance of up to R2 000 per speaker for those who really need assistance with travel.
CFP Description
Please include enough information about your proposal that it’s clear what your topic will be about and what the attendees will likely take away from your session. If your proposal gets accepted then we’ll give you an opportunity to formulate a new version to go on the program description pages, so don’t worry about giving away too much information in your submission. Remember: We need to understand what you’ll be presenting in order to compare you fairly to the rest of the bunch.
How to get accepted:
- New content over old
- Opinionated over one-size-fits-all stuff
- Challenges convention rather than agrees with established “truths”
- You want to present your own experiences from the field
- Interactive over sit-and-listen (but there’s room for both)
- You have a bit of extra crazy in your proposal
- Your proposal contributes depth (or breadth) to the community discourse
- You make us believe that you can deliver what you’re selling, regardless of whether you are well-known or a first-timer to the conference scene
- We understand why people will be excited to attend your talk/workshop/session
You don’t need to hit all the points above, but if you don’t hit at least a couple, you’re in trouble.
How to get rejected:
- Old, stale, beating-a-dead-horse topic (unless there’s a twist or a deep experience base)
- Thinly veiled marketing ploys or services promotion
- You forgot to bring the new, the interesting twist or the crazy
- We don’t understand your submission, or it’s obvious you threw it together in under 5 minutes. We take constructing the Let’s Test program seriously and though we sometimes get in touch and let people clarify fuzzy parts of their submission, you shouldn’t count on it
