Writing and submitting your OpenJS World 2021 talk

We are thrilled with how OpenJS World 2021 is coming together! The global event is happening virtually on June 9, 2021 and the call for speaking sessions is OPEN! You can submit your OpenJS World talk here: https://cfp.openjsworld.com/

Quality content is a keystone priority for the OpenJS World program committee and we want to help people get a leg up in submitting thoughtful and relevant content. 

While it’s never our intention to provide strict directives on how to prepare your speaking submission, we do have some general guidelines serves to help you prepare the best submission possible. 

As you get started, here are three things that you should consider before submitting your proposal:

• What are you hoping to get from your presentation?
• What do you expect the audience to gain from your presentation?
• How will your presentation help better the ecosystem?

There are plenty of ways to give a presentation about projects and technologies without focusing on company-specific efforts. Remember the things to consider that we mentioned above when writing your proposal and think of ways to make it interesting for attendees while still letting you share your experiences, educate the community about an issue, or generate interest in a project.
