Call for Papers

Why

A conference like RubyConf Argentina is all about new ideas, getting a renewed perspective on old topics, encouraging discussion and getting to know new people. Having a good roster of already established, well-known speakers is not enough to guarantee that. We want you to jump on stage and show everyone what you have - maybe you created a new library, or have an idea worth exploring, or want to share some of your experiences.

In fact, we believe so much that new faces are to be on the spotlight of a conference, that we go to great lengths in making selected speakers comfortable so they can rock the stage. Stay tunned for more announcements!

Selection process

• The selection process will be managed by a closed commitee formed by the RubyConf Argentina organizers.
• We won't publish the votes either publicly or privately.
• The selected list of speaker will be announced publicly via social networks and e-mail, as well as privately to each participant.

What you get

• Free ticket to the conference (all goodies included!).
• Appearance in the conference's leaflet, website, etc.
• Speakers' day: a full day with the rest of the speakers and the organizers to get to know each other before the main event, while sharing a typical argentinian 'asado'.
• Given that RubyConf Argentina is organized by a non-profit organization, we can't cover any speakers' expenses (*)

(*) If you know a company that is willing to cover your flight and accommodation expenses, we will consider including them as a sponsor of the conference.
