This is different from a talk
The Project Showcase is not a conference talk or presentation proposal. You don't need to prepare a talk on a technical topic. You show something you have actually built.
Call for Proposals
Give a talk or workshop
- Present on a topic to a conference audience
- Share what you learned, not only what you built
- Reviewed separately from the showcase
The call for proposals has closed
Want to speak as well? Submit a talk proposal separately.
Applying to the Project Showcase does not enter you into the talk programme. If you would also like to give a talk about your project or anything else, submit a proposal through the Call for Proposals. We encourage showcase applicants to do both.
