Call for papers

Share what you know with the South West developer community.

Old hands and first-timers

We're a friendly developers conference and welcome talks from speakers both old and new. Bring an established talk, or an idea you'd like help developing.

A broad range of topics

Technical deep dives, career lessons, tools, teams and wellbeing: if developers would find it useful, we want to hear about it.

The community votes

Once the call closes, session voting opens so the whole herd can help choose the programme.
