Get Ready for DConf '24!
February 20

It's time to start thinking more seriously about that DConf talk you've been thinking about submitting: DConf '24 is tentatively scheduled for September 17 - 20. Symmetry Investments is again our host and primary sponsor. We'll be back for a third time at CodeNode, and we're working again with Brightspace Events to put it all together.

If you'd like to submit a talk but aren't sure you've got anything to talk about, just take a look at our past DConf and DConf Online editions for inspiration. If you're using D for anything right now, then you've almost certainly got content for a DConf talk. I'll quote Ali's words of wisdom once more:

Coming up with an idea for a talk is as simple as the way you use D. Just look at your code, and it makes a presentation...

Never spoken at DConf? Never spoken at a conference at all? No problem. We've had a higher than usual number of first-time speakers at the past two DConfs and are always open to more. The DConf audience is always a friendly one.

I plan to launch the website with the submission details in early March, with a deadline in late April. If you have something in mind and you'd like to send it in now, then please go right ahead. Here's the info we need:

  • The title
  • Duration (we're looking for talks of 30 - 45 minutes)
  • The intended audience (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/All)
  • The kind of presentation (talk/paper/panel)
  • The abstract (a brief summary; the "elevator pitch"; this will go on the website if selected)
  • The description (as much detail as you want to provide; some speakers have submitted outlines; portions of this may go on the website if selected)

Send your submission in either plain text or Markdown to social@dlang.org. Please, no PDF, word processor formats, etc.

Hm. For the first time in many years, I don't think I have a topic! :)

I'm gonna see if I can put together enough content for a talk about effective dustmiting. Might have to be a lightning talk though. 30 minutes is gonna be a challenge to hit with that.

Nevermind, I just went through the content I have on dustmite and I can hit 30 minutes comfortably. Gonna be submitting that then. :)
