Speaking at Web Day Out

Half of the line-up of speakers for Web Day Out is already on the site. One more is already confirmed.

I���m ridiculously excited about the way the line-up is taking shape, and judging by the zippiness of ticket sales, so are lots of my peers. Seriously, don���t wait to get your ticket or you might end up missing out completely.

I���ve already got a shortlist of other people I could imagine on the line-up, but I���m open to more suggestions. If you���d like to speak at Web Day Out���or you know someone you think would be great���send an email to jeremy@clearleft.com

I won���t be checking my work email while I���m away on holiday next week but it would be lovely to come back to an inbox of exciting suggestions.

A couple of pointers���

I���d rather not have too many people like me on the line-up. White dudes are already over-represented in this industry, especially at conferences.

If you���ve never given a talk before, don���t worry. I���d love to help you put your talk together and coach you in presenting it. I have some experience in this area.

No product pitches. That includes JavaScript frameworks and CSS libraries.

If I get even a whiff of ���AI���, your proposal doesn���t stand a chance. There are many, many, many other events that are only too happy to have wall-to-wall talks about ���that sort of thing.

If you end up speaking at Web Day Out you will, of course, be paid. We will, of course, cover travel and accommodation too. We can���t afford the travel costs of bringing anyone in from outside Europe though (and we���d like to keep the carbon footprint of the event as small as possible).

Web Day Out has an opinionated agenda all about showing what���s possible in web browsers today. Some potential topics include:

view transitions,invoker commands,anchor positioning,scroll-driven animations,progressive web apps,web components.

The emphasis should be on using stuff in production rather than theoretical demos.

If you���ve got a case study about using the web platform���perhaps migrating away from a framework-driven approach���that would fit the bill perfectly.

How���s all that sounding? Know someone who could deliver the goods? Let me know!
