Call for Papers (CfP)

Tips for your proposal

We want to encourage people with different levels of experience in giving talks to participate in this conference. We know that, for first-timers, presenting an idea that reflects every cool detail about your talk can be confusing.

It is important that you present your idea clearly, and that you are available to answer any feedback that the people reviewing your proposal might have.

Abstract layout

A simple layout that you could follow is to cover the following aspects in your proposal:

• Context for your talk or problem
• Definition of the problem
• Why is it important to find a solution to that problem?
• What will be covered, and what will attendees learn?
• Prerequisites or additional comments about your talk

Avoid abstracts with 1-2 lines that repeat the idea already featured in the title, and try and include aspects that make your proposal special and unique.

Types of proposals

• Talks: 35 min (30 min + 5 min QA)
• Workshops: up to 90 min

If your workshops takes more or less time, tell the organization so that they can take it into account when designing the program. This will allow us to create a diverse program that fits into the three days of the conference.

We value proposals:

• With a social focus
• Hops between different professional fields
• Or just about your experience using Python and its impact in your life
