#devoxxfrance #devoxxuk #techconference #securityawareness | Barbara Teruggi Hi there! 🙋‍♀️ My conference year is starting soon, and I'm counting the days 🤩 , it's shameless-self promotion time, we can catch up at: Devoxx France 🎤 What? A Door with No Locks? Let's Talk Abou...

We sat down with Vanessa Formicola to go behind the scenes of the Architecture track. In an era of rapid automation the conversation has shifted. It’s no longer about building systems. It’s about how we evolve them, the ethics of AI integration, & the "exciting complexity" of modern software design

We interviewed Java Champion & Track Lead @ixchelruiz.bsky.social to discuss why the Build & Deploy track is the "missing link" for devs, architects & product managers

"Build & Deploy encompasses everything that is not about the programming languages, but how we build the systems." - Ixchel

Literally counting the days! Can't believe I will be coming back for the third year! What a journey it has been, and the level of excitement is off the charts! 🙇‍♀️🙋‍♀️👩‍🚀✨️🚀

CFP BONUS TIPS!

Differentiate your proposal

🔸 Make sure your proposal stands on its own

🔸 Don't send multiple proposals on similar subjects

Provide supporting materials

🔸 Send a link to a talk you've done before

🔸 Or shoot a short video of you talking about your topic

➡️ devoxxuk26.cfp.dev

Pro tip for everyone submitting to tech conferences.

Include a video of a previous talk or create one pitching your talk.

Delivery is just as important as the topic.
Don't assume the program committee is familiar with you. You need to convince the PC that your submission is of sufficient quality.

CFP Tip 10: Test it with others

🔸 Ask friends and colleagues to review your proposal

🔸 Be open to making changes & welcome suggestions

🔸 Ensure whoever you choose to review your submission will give honest feedback

Submit here before 9th January ➡️ devoxxuk26.cfp.dev

CFP Tip 9: Product pitches = rejection

🔸 Please don't send us sales pitches

🔸 Your product might be amazing but this isn't the right place for it

🔸 Dev tools & demos are welcome but keep it balanced & informative

🔸 Share knowledge, not a sales deck

Good luck! Submit here ➡️ devoxxuk26.cfp.dev

CFP Tip 8: Check your categories

🔸 Make sure you select the right track, session type & event when you submit

🔸 Incorrect categorisation can result in submissions getting missed

🔸 When you're ready, hit send! Don't leave your proposal in drafts 😊

Submit here ➡️ devoxxuk26.cfp.dev

Have you submitted your proposal to @devoxx.uk yet? 🦄 Over here!! 👇

CFP Tip 7: Don't upset anyone

🔸Keep your proposals clean & respectful

🔸 Profanities, inflammatory or sexualised language don't belong here

🔸 If you're unsure if something in your proposal crosses the line, leave it out

🔸 No negativity or hate here please

🗓️ 6&7 May | ℹ️ devoxx.co.uk

CFP tip 5: Use AI with caution

🔸Use AI as a tool not the author

🔸Reviewers get tired of reading similar-sounding
submissions

🔸AI is good for spell-checking & grammar

🔸Fact-check anything AI generates for you

🗓️ 6&7 May | devoxx.co.uk

CFP Tip 4: the first two sentences are vital!

🔸Keep your title focused
🔸People skim-read the title of an abstract to choose which sessions to go to
🔸This is your shop window - make your opening sentences engaging & clear

🗓️ 6&7 May | ℹ️ devoxx.co.uk

Our CFP is open now - time to get involved 🚀

Continuing our CFP Tips series. Number 3: Stick to the Point

🔸Avoid rambling and using lots of buzzwords

🔸Make it relevant to the target audience

🔸Present the problem, why it’s important, and the solution

🔸Outline why attendees will benefit from your talk

🗓️ 6&7 May | ℹ️ devoxx.co.uk

CFP Tip 2: The talk title

🔸First impressions matter so make it interesting, snappy and relevant

🔸 Ensure the title reflects the content of your talk

🔸Make it stand out, especially if it’s on a topic that is covered often

🔸Be cautious about using humour

🗓️ 6&7 May | ℹ️ devoxx.co.uk

CFP Tip 1: Be the knowledge sharer

🔸Focus on a topic you know well and are comfortable with

🔸Avoid new and shiny tech just because you think it's trending

🔸Make sure your proposed subject offers clear benefits to the audience

Come back tomorrow for Tip 2...
