Which conferences are you submitting CFPs to?

A bunch of us on the DEV team submitted to RailsConf last week! If you're one to give a talk/workshop, which conferences are you hoping to speak at this year?

Top of my list to speak at(but it's a long shot!) is EuRoKo Rotterdam. They only have spots for 10 speakers but my fingers are crossed! 🤞

I also applied to RubyKaigi. I have never been to Japan and I think going to give a talk and be with like minded people would be an incredible way to visit for the first time.

I applied to a few other's stateside but honestly the international ones are what I am currently most excited about.
Stateside CFPs:

Thank you!!! I was on vacation when I found out. It hasn't even really sunk in yet but I am pumped!

No Python developers here? :-)
I've submitted to PyCon US for the first time and now I'm checking the website every day for the results (I know that they will probably send an email first, but still :-P).

I'm working up the nerve to submit to gophercon. I suppose I better get on it if I'm going to only a few days left.

Giving my first ever talk at Nordic APIs Austin Summit in May! Super excited, and hope to do more this year. Also submitted talks for API The Docs Chicago and API Days SF.

I applied for JSConf US and JSConf Budapest. Fingers crossed for both conferences. 🤞

Gophercon San Diego!

I went to Gophercon Iceland last year and gave myself a stretch goal of speaking at Gophercon.

Since then I thought about what I wanted to talk about and did a talk about tests at my local meetup. I hope to take an iteration of that talk stateside.

It's a very popular conference though, apparently almost 100 CFPs have happened already so I'm not super-optimistic but you never know.

Plucked up the courage to submit my first talk to DDD North!

And was accepted and did the talk last Saturday!

I can now say with great certainty, it's good to push yourself out of your comfort zone once in a while :-)

Actually, today I submitted my first time ever. I'd like to speak about how important communication is and what helped me to improve it at DevDay, a small one day developer conference in Dresden, Germany.

I have only done CFPs so far, my first was to an Omaha Security conference, Kernelcon and the second was to KCDC, Kansas City Developer Conference. I actually got accepted to speak at Kernelcon (my first!) and still am waiting to hear on KCDC.
