Conferences with open calls for proposals (CFPs)
In order to get yourself in front of an audience, you first have to be selected as a speaker, and for that, you need to submit talk proposals. I’ll be making a list of conferences accepting proposals here.
MinneWebCon
MinneWebCon has a CFP open through January 14, 2013. First time speakers and speakers from underrepresented populations in technology are encouraged to apply to this conference, which has a commitment to grassroots knowledge-sharing. Topics covered in previous conferences have ranged from front-end development, mobile development, content strategy, user experience, etc.
Minneapolis, Minnesota | April 15-16, 2013
Lanyrd’s CFP directory
On Lanyrd, conference organisers have the option to post their CFP details, sortable by topic and submission deadline. Visit the Lanyrd CFP directory regularily!
