What we're looking for
Keynotes are 50 min while regular presentations are 15 or 30 min and all talks should be in English.
People come to Nordic.js to get inspired and learn more about JavaScript. We love talks that have a unique point of view and can support in pushing the community as a whole forward. If you’ve already given your proposed talk somewhere else, we’d appreciate if you sprinkle it with some fresh examples and/or new information.
Every year we do a feedback survey to hear what attendees love and what they'd like to see more of. Here are some key phrases that could be of use when writing your proposal.
- Push the boundaries
- Be educational and straightforward
- Care about the audience, not your ego
- Be practical - show tools you can use right away
- Spark interest
The proposal should be short and sweet. Get to the point and mention what value it could bring the JavaScript community and/or individual developers in their day to day work.
To have a complete proposal you need to have a video of yourself. If you don’t have something recorded already, we encourage you to create a short video (2-3 minutes) of yourself presenting your session. What we’re looking at is your passion, knowledge, and personality as a speaker. If you have any questions, please let us know!
Keep proposals free of marketing and sales. Product pitches are automatic rejects. Lessons learned from building or running your product, however, can be invaluable.
Diversity
We take an active part in promoting inclusivity and openness, not only at our conference but in the design and tech scene overall. We’re therefore very proud over having had a gender-equal speaker lineup at Nordic.js 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. For 2022, we’re working towards having an even more diverse lineup of speakers.
