Vous aussi, vous aviez complètement oublié qu'il y avait #THSF (Toulouse Hacker Space Factory) le weekend passé ?
On peut toujours se consoler en regardant des #vidéos de #conférences en ligne…

DevConf Panel; How to get accepted to conferences: A panel discussion

The fedizens have spoken (59 of them at least) so we're looking at an online fediverse conference later this year. Please weigh in on potential dates (and clashes with timing of other events) here:

I was chairing a conference parallel session at #Blois2023 last week and I came across this nice, lightweight, countdown timer https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~geoff/countdowntimer.html
I made some changes: reduced the update interval to every minute and removed the 'time expired' stuff. I also made the colours less aggressive.
During the session I ensured it was in full view of the speaker at all times. It really helped with timekeeping and meant I didn't have to feel like the baddie cutting off speakers at the end of their time.
I think good timekeeping in parallel sessions, without making people feel cut off or interrupted, is the most important thing a convener can do to show respect to attendees and peers.

🙌 New episode of Go Time!
Now that you’ve aced that CFP, the gang is back to share our best tips & tricks to help you give your best conference talk ever 💪
Getting through the CFP process for developer conferences can be really difficult – especially for first time speakers. I put together some tips for writing a CFP in this blog post that will hopefully help. https://remotesynthesis.com/blog/the-art-of-the-cfp/
Good news 2 days in a row! My Accessibility Testing 101 talk also got accepted for CincyDeliver! So I will be seeing some of my Cincy pals in July! #SpeakerLife #Conferences #accessibility #a11y
I just got word that my Intro to Accessibility and my Accessibility Testing 101 talks both got accepted to Tech Bash 2023 at the Pocono Kalahari Resort.
I am beyond excited!
Does anyone have a current list of #cybersecurity and/or #privacy #conferences and #meetups around #Europe?
Use Fluid Hive’s Event Design Questions as a tool for creating #meetings, #workshops, and #conferences that solve problems, save money, and protect your reputation. #eventdesign #designthinking #facilitation https://fluidhive.com/ald-006/


Do any tech #conferences have speakers choose walkup/intro soundtracks?
Places #scholarly and other organizations should not be hosting #conferences: Texas, Florida, North Carolina....where else?
On top of continuing #Covid deaths and disabilities, the politics of these states should be convincing orgs to have virtual/online conferences.
#Academia #AcademicConferences #Conferences #Accessibility #Disability
Rejection anxiety, with regards to conference submission. Would you say you have it, and does it stop you from submitting to #conferences?
Is there a guide somewhere for making good, #accessible #hybrid (in-person/online) #workshops and #conferences *for #academia*?
If not, I want to make it. Let me know if you want to help.
(Lots of stuff on the web about this, but not for academic events, and it's not a perfect fit. Also lots of stuff that's "top 5 tips" or in blog post format - also not what I want. I want something I can hand to an organizer who was planning an in-person only event and have a hope that they might actually turn it into a good hybrid event. Or for someone who wants to plan a hybrid event from the get-go.)

"Going back to the pre-pandemic conference-travel culture is simply not morally acceptable, I believe. Yet many #conferences have gone back to a full in-person model, and authors are *required* to present in person." -Moshe @vardi "ACM for the Public Good" https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2023/5/272297-acm-for-the-public-good/fulltext

There are now ongoing concerns over the location of #medical #conferences within the United States, particularly for female #physicians #MedMastodon https://twitter.com/VerranDeborah/status/1653603700949258241?s=20
The GOTO #Conferences are back!
They have a special place in my heart because they were the first to invite me (back in 2019) to give my talk about #Depression and #Burnout in English, and I'll be eternally grateful for that ♥
Their next edition will be May 22-24 in #Chicago; and they were kind enough to give me (and by extension, y'all) a 10% discount code: "speaker10"

Landed in San Diego marking the end of my @railsconf adventure. It was amazing to be able to speak on the mentorship panel, make new friends, and connect with old coworkers. The experience further solidified my love for Ruby and Rails communities. #ruby #rubyonrails #conferences


💫 New episode of Go Time!
Go conferences are not as diverse as we’d like them to be 😔
There are initiatives in place to improve this situation. Among other roles, Ronna Steinberg is the Head of Diversity at GopherCon Europe 🌍
In this episode we’ll learn more about the goal, the process and the problems, and how can each one of us help make this better 🙏
🌍 From networking opportunities to knowledge exchange, discover why meeting in person still matters in the digital age. 👉 https://buff.ly/3mqIzgu
At a conference this week in Canmore, Alberta.
I think all conferences should take place in the mountains.
(Pictures don’t do it justice)

2) Ce que j'aime le plus dans mon métier, ce sont les rencontres avec les lecteurs, via les #salonsdulivre et les conventions de l' #imaginaire. 🥰
Ce que j'aime le moins, c'est la mise en forme de mes livres, même si j'ai trouvé des templates qui me simplifient bien la vie. 😅
Je suis #entrepreneure depuis 2019 : j'ai créé mon EIRL, Nathalie Bagadey Production, pour, initialement, me lancer dans les #conferences : #epicfail. 😁 (Bon, c'était juste avant le confinement, mais quand même...) ⬇⬇⬇

I’ve been looking out for DDD #conferences which are aimed at #microsoft #dotnet developers. And I’ve spotted a couple.
The first is DDD South West: https://dddsouthwest.com on the 29th April in Bristol.
The second is DDD East Midlands: https://www.dddeastmidlands.com on 7th October in Nottingham
Are there any more on the go?

If you’re going to be at PyCon US this weekend, visit the Auth0 by Okta booth and check out some of our cool Python projects, which includes a Badger 2040 programmable e-badge that you could win!

I am looking to apply to some more conferences to speak at, but not sure what ones would be good to watch out for. I have a small list I've put together in just the last month or so, but would love some suggestions from people because I know I am missing a bunch more. I speak about tech and accessibility.
The list I have so far includes Cincy Delivers, KCDC, Code Mash, Code PaLOUsa, TechBash, StirTrek, AxeCon, Ability Summit, A11yTO, and That conference.
If you could see an update on any old conference talk, what would it be?
