Have you always wondered how to talk at major conference?

Do you have aspirations of one day becoming a subject matter expert?

Have you given a few lightning talks and now looking to take the next step?

If you would like to know what it takes to be accepted at a conference then come along to our LJC roundtable. During this discussion you'll get a peek behind the curtain of what it's like to organise a conference. You'll learn the guidance, tips and tricks offered by conference organisers and veterans on how to get your talk accepted.

Our panel will be on hand to answer your questions on how to write an abstract, what conference organisers are looking for, what to expect during the submission process and how to find the right conference for you.

Who should come:

Aspiring subject matter experts

Aspiring speakers looking for advice on preparing your talk

New speakers who are thinking of submitting talks to user groups and meetup communities

Experienced user group speakers who are looking to break onto the conference circuit
