Why Submit to ChefConf 2019?
Obviously, we love having everyone share their stories at ChefConf. ChefConf is our premier event for our Chef, InSpec, and Habitat communities to meet and share ideas. Our communities are driven by sharing stories, experiences, challenges, successes, everything in between. The more stories our community shares, the more everyone learns.
Not sure what to submit a talk about? ChefConf 2019 is an ideal venue to highlight an awesome project your team has worked on. Our community helps put a human face on the industry buzzwords and lingo, bringing the real world into the spotlight.
Speaking at an event like ChefConf is a unique opportunity to build your brand and expand your speaker profile, and allows you to highlight your team as a great place to work for hiring managers.
Do you have an internal tool that you’re proud of and want to share? Can you open source it and share it with the ChefConf community? Find like-minded folks and maybe even some future contributors for your project with a talk at ChefConf 2019.
What’s In a Good Proposal?
Tell us a good story, but be clear about what your talk will focus on. We love a catchy title and a slick abstract, but give us the key points you’re planning to cover, why the ChefConf audience will find those points compelling, and why you’re the best person to speak on the topic.
If you’re planning to present with a demo, let us know that too! Demos are great for sharing technical ideas. Bringing a co-presenter is great too, just let us know. We can also accommodate panel discussions, but please reach out to us for those.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the ChefConf team at [email protected]. We’re happy to help with your submission ideas and anything else you need.
Hope to see you in Seattle!
