We would like to invite the Clojure, ClojureScript and functional programming community to submit talks for the upcoming EuroClojure conference in Berlin, Germany!
IMPORTANT DATES
- CFP Opens – Monday, March 13, 2017
- CFP Closes – Friday, April 21, 2017
- Speakers Notified – Tuesday, May 9, 2017
- Conference – July 20-21, 2017
TOPICS
Talks are 40 minutes, including questions and answers. EuroClojure will have one session room featuring talks in the following categories:
- Language – features of Clojure or ClojureScript, how they are implemented, or how to use them effectively
- Experience Report – how your project or organization is succeeding with Clojure or ClojureScript
- Library – how to use a particular library
- Tools – how to use a particular tool
- Ideas – design, architecture, or other ideas about programming with Clojure
- Fun – art, games, or other topics
HOW WE CAN HELP
Everyone who is interested in submitting a talk proposal to EuroClojure is encouraged to do so, regardless of experience level. We welcome proposals from less experienced speakers and will work with you to help you prepare. First time speakers might find value in reading about Jon Smock’s experience from Clojure/conj 2016. We’ve also found that around 50% of EuroClojure attendees are new to Clojure and appreciate seeing talks from a variety of speakers with different experience levels. We would also like to actively encourage submissions from individuals who consider themselves underrepresented on stage at technical conferences. If you are considering a talk, here’s how we can help:
- Provide feedback and prioritization of potential ideas
- Connect you with an experienced mentor for your submission or talk
- Review your slides or content and provide advice
- Find opportunities to practice your talk
