This is a list of CfPs (Calls for Papers/Presentations/Participation/etc.) that I know of, closing within the next 30 days. It is updated as I add CfPs I find out about, plus some extra “CfP-hunting” I do about once a week (usually on Tuesdays). There are usually about twenty to forty, but highly variable.
It is an extract of a much larger list that I maintain on behalf of Toptal’s Speakers Network. That one contains past CfPs, CfPs closing much farther in the future, and estimates when past ones should reopen. (If you want access to that, use my referral link, click on the “Apply as a Freelancer” button, pass the screening, then apply to join the Speakers Network, which may require going through their Speakers Academy first.)
This list contains only the CfPs of conferences I am personally interested in, ones that other people (especially Speakers Network members) tell me about, and a few others I happen to stumble across. So, that’s mainly software development conferences, focused on:
- Elixir (or Phoenix), Ruby (or Rails), Python, JavaScript, C, or sometimes closely related things (like the BEAM or C++),
- or not tightly focused on any particular tech stack (though it may lean heavily towards one or two), domain, technique, methodology, etc.,
- or occasionally testing (of the kind devs should do to their own code, not the kind a QA tester does).
It usually omits CfPs from conferences:
- whose websites and/or CfPs are not available in some language I speak (English, French, or Portuguese),
- lasting less than a full work-day,
- about any other tech stack or topic,
- tightly focused on various specific subtopics,
- held in places I won’t go (mostly repressive countries),
- or that doesn’t have a website of its own (at least about the series).
If you know of something missing, feel free to contact me. Just please make sure that the CfP is indeed closing within the next 30 days, else I might already have it in the big list, just not this extract.
Donation form coming eventually. ;-)
