Check out the rest of our tips over on the blog and find out how to submit your session to #GitHubUniverse. Good luck!

9 tips to go from attendee to speaker at a tech conference | The GitHub Blog

Here’s what you need to know to write a compelling session proposal and get on stage.

4. Have a friend outside of your industry review your content before you submit it. They might not understand the technical language but a fresh perspective is always a good idea.

3. Convey that your topic is best served as a conference session. If it can only work as a blog post, then the content committee likely won’t accept it.

2. Be specific with your key takeaways. What exactly will someone leave your session knowing that they didn’t know before? These should be complete sentences and begin with words such as, “Gain insight into… learn… understand… discover…”

1. Think about your session title like you would the subject line of an email—it needs to grab the attendee quickly and persuade them to read more.

Looking to get your session accepted at a conference this year? Then these tips are for you. 🧵

How ‘open’ should your open source be?

Open source isn’t one size fits all. Some is open, some closed, and most is in-between. From Litestream to Lua to Prometheus and more, maintainers explain their reasons for where they lie on the sp...
