Standard speaker session compensation includes €800 per standard session, split among speakers if co-speaking, 3 nights hotel accommodation, and 1 x 3-day conference pass.

You must present the agreed session only. Sales pitches and third-party product demos are not acceptable, as they are typically not well received by the audience. If you feel that your presentation does not comply with these terms, please let us know if you need to withdraw your speaking application.

Slide decks, reference material, and technical papers must be submitted to the Conference Administrator via email no later than 7th of September.

We reserve the right to replace any presenter who misses the specified deadlines.

Speaker Registration

Speakers must register with the conference team at the registration desk at least 60 minutes before your session is due to commence. Speakers who have not registered by the requested time will be replaced at the discretion of the organisers.

Please note that speaker travel and accommodation expenses are not subsidised. However, we offer the compensation detailed above. Any extra nights will be at the expense of the speaker, and credit card details must be provided to the hotel.

Note: Speaker compensation does not apply to Microsoft speakers, as it is standard policy within Microsoft that Microsoft speakers do not get compensated to speak at a Microsoft event. If a community speaker and a Microsoft speaker are co-speaking in a session, the Microsoft speaker will receive €0, and the community speaker will receive the proportionate split of compensation. For example, if 1 Microsoft speaker co-runs a session with 1 community speaker, the Microsoft speaker will receive €0, and the community speaker will receive €400.
