Call for Submissions

Conference:

You will be able to change the session proposal at any time. Though if you change it after the Call for Submissions deadline on February 1, 2015 you should notify us. We will in turn notify you if we think your session proposal needs a rewrite before we can publish it.

My session is not published. Did you get it?

As long as you can access your session from the dashboard, it is saved and submitted correctly. You don't need to do anything else. Your session will be published once we accepted it for the conference programme. But no worries, we'll inform you via email before we'll publish it.

I have already registered for Berlin Buzzwords 2014. Do I still need to create a new account?

No, you only need to update your account. Log in with your details. On the main page you see the note “Berlin Buzzwords 2015: subscribe to event.” Click on it and join the group.

Step-by-step: How does registration work?

1. Go to the registration page. If you were a participant at Berlin Buzzwords 2014, you just need to update your profile. Log in with your details. On the main page you see the note “Berlin Buzzwords 2015: subscribe to event.” Click on it and join the group.

2. You can already start to fill out and complete your speaker profile or finish this at a later time. Please note, your speaker profile must be fully completed until February 9 for your session to be accepted.

3. Choose your username.

4. Enter a valid e-mail address.

What information do you need from me?

We need information concerning your session idea including the topic, a brief description of the content, format (long or short talk), experience level, as well as some information about you.

What are the selection criteria?

Selection criteria include: the quality and completeness of your proposal and how well your proposed session fits in to the program. Talks and workshops should concentrate on the implementation of systems, technical topics, real world applications and case studies. You can find more hints and information here.

When is the deadline for applications?

The Call for Submissions ends on February 1, 2014. Proposals submitted after this date or which reach us through other channels cannot be accepted.

How do I know if my session has been selected?

We will let you know at the beginning of March.

When does the content of my session need to be ready?

On the day your session will take place. We do not need your finished presentation but your short session description will be published online. We’d suggest making the short description informative and well formulated when submitting, in order to get readers interested in your session. Also, make it short but sweet (hardly anyone reads more than half a page, so your session's description is limited to 2.000 caracters).

Do I, as a session host, get free admittance?

Of course!
