November is a long way away. I know that.
BUT once accepted, speakers can tweak their topic to their heart’s content, so long as it’s not a complete “Oh well it was this, and now it’s this completely different thing”, so submitting now, or waiting a while, no matter. What matters is not forgetting to submit, or missing the deadline. You can always update your submission as we go before the call for papers close.
I figure the call for speakers will close around July-August sometime.
The way it works (for those of you that haven’t spoken before) is this. You email us with your idea, answering all the items outlined below. That’s it :)
After we close the call for papers, we’ll make selections.
Haven’t spoken at 360|iDev before? it’s easy. We’re probably the most low pressure event around, and we love having new people from the community present. Many of our highest rated presenters, started out as attendees, then decided to share what they knew with the community.
What we’ll need in your session submission:
- Your name
- Your Email
- Your twitter ID or blog address (Whatever you want your name to link to on the speakers page)
- Session Name
- Session description
- Session level (100 – 300+) The more advanced the better, just saying.
- Session Track (tracks are: Business, Sights, Sounds, and Interactions, Development Tips and Tricks)
- Is this session strictly iPhone or iPad? Let us know so we can start marking any such sessions
- Lastly, have you presented this topic anywhere else. No offense to other events, but we hate stuff that’s made the circuit. It’s cool to show it at a cocoa heads, or NScodernight, but we hate sloppy seconds. The fresher the content the better.
Have a few ideas, submit them all! Sometimes we ask speakers to do more than one session if they pitch more than one awesome idea.
What’s in it for you as a speaker? Well we of course don’t make you pay to attend, but we also cover your hotel stay for 3 nights.
Less quantifiable benefits of speaking at 360|iDev?
- Book deals
- New Job or new consulting work
- who knows, Apple might hire you… just saying, we’ve seen a fair number of people who come to iDev, get snatched up by the mothership…
- Everlasting fame and (kharmic) fortune
So send in your topic ideas, remember, I’m under NDA too, so if you have an idea that’s not released yet, feel free, and we’ll keep it hush hush until it is announced. No NDA breaking here :)
See you in Austin!
