The Call for Speakers is CLOSED.
We are looking forward to seeing you as speaker at the PRAGUE Women in Agile Europe 2024 conference on Wednesday 18 September. We are happy to host this year’s conference in-person!
In order to gain the proven benefits for conferences that have a balanced (gender) diversity, it is important to include more women (and all other ‘minorities’) as (keynote) speakers at agile conferences,
Last years we made progress, but we are not there, yet! We still need to make the big step .
Therefor our motto this year is “Lead Embrace Unite Include”.
We are looking for talks around this motto. We will elaborate on that soon.
Call for speakers is closed.
When you submitted a proposal on time, you have until May 25th to tune the submission.
Please read the Timeline for details on dates to come.
Please read the Guidelines for tuning your proposal.
Source: these guidelines were inspired by the submission tips for Agile 2023
Title (obligatory field)
Start with a title that is meaningful to the topic. This is your first opportunity to grab attention; it is the headline of your session. Many people attend sessions based on the title alone.
Please add the status in front of your title:
DRAFT – still working on it
FEEDBACK REQUESTED – comments to improve your submission are welcome
FINAL – you are done, the proposal is ready for review for acceptance for the conference
Abstract (obligatory field)
The abstract is the marketing for your session, thus it should be designed to appeal to a diverse group of people that would like to attend. The abstract should have a maximum of 500-700 words.
Make sure to add how your talk/workshop relates to our theme ‘Lead Embrace Unite Include’.
What do you think ‘Lead Embrace Unite Include’ could mean in the light of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? You can think of any topics- but make it clear how it relates to the theme. We will elaborate later and come with more information about the idea behind “Lead Embrace Unite Include” and other terms related to this topic.
Consider having a strong close (call to action) to the abstract to re-engage the reader. Finally, less is more. Consider removing text that does not add to the above.
If you struggle with explaining your talk in writing, you can submit a link to a video in which you talk about your chosen topic instead. Please keep it at a maximum of 3 minutes. If you get selected, we will help you to create a fitting abstract.
Information for Organizers (optional field)
This part of the submission form is used to provide details that will help the reviewers and organizers to better understand your session. These details will not be published in the online schedule, so you don’t need to be formal in your language or writing style.
Is this a workshop? Lecture? Interactive session? How do you want to plan it?
Please add if / what technologies you’ll be using in the session (e.g., how many microphones you’ll need; will you need a screen, whiteboard, or anything else).
Also, clarify if you would need any support during the talk from our side. If so, what kind? Let us know if you’ll have extra people helping you out. All this is needed so that together we can ensure that your talk is amazing!
Learning Outcomes (obligatory field)
You might want to start here. Get your learning outcomes clear first, and then write your abstract.
Learning outcomes are a couple of clear takeaways that the attendees will gain after attending your session.
Consider using Action + Concept/Skill wording for your learning objectives. Think words like “demonstrate, show, apply, create, explain, list, describe…”. You can also try this detailed resource.
We encourage you to have learning outcomes that resonate with this year’s theme ‘Crossing the Chasm’.
Presentation History (optional field)
Tell us more about your story! Are you a seasoned speaker, or are you new to presenting? We welcome all types of speakers, from total newbies to experienced speakers. We are inclusive and we want to have a lineup with a mix of skills.
Providing a link to a video of you presenting a topic or pitching your session is highly encouraged as it would give the reviewers a sense of your style.
Please also add if you’ve given this talk before (and where) or if it’s the first time you’ll be presenting it.
