Speaker Selection Process
Pubcon has earned a reputation as the leading edge conference for marketing and web developer technology. The high level of presentation content at PubCon sets us apart from other tech conference available.
Speakers First
Our speaker and session selection process is unique.
Most conferences create a default set of panels and then go looking for speakers to plugin to those panels. It leads to inappropriate speakers trying to fill a slot (often with a buddy) and ending up with half-hearted beginner level content.
We let speakers propose the topic they want to talk about. This process allows speakers to propose sessions that speak from their expertise and passion. We then create a panel around the session proposal from the speaker or rewrite an existing session topic to fit their needs. Our process leads to speakers talking from their expertise and passion about topics that are currently hot in the community and market place - it leads to speakers bringing their A game and enjoying it. Attendees win.
Attenddess First
Speakers First is not full proof or perfect, but I think it is the best system available that puts attendees and speakers first.
We have a great deal of pride in our speakers and session proposal process. Our best advice is to propose a session that speaks directly from and to your expertise. Propose the type of presentation where you will find it enjoyable to create the Power Point and practice your presentation.
