We invite talks by and for users, sysadmins, researchers, developers, enthusiastic hobbyists, students, retirees, social scientists…if you can talk for 50 minutes about a topic directly related to the BSD derivative projects or community or can deliver a technical tutorial for BSD users, we want to hear about it!

The website has a big page of hints for your first proposal and what we’re looking for in a talk, and a large archive of past topics is available. (But don’t let that limit you…maybe we just haven’t heard YOUR talk yet!)

We think everyone should be able to participate in community events and though we have a small budget, we hope to accommodate as much of our community as we can.

• We have a mask policy (your audience will be wearing N95s)
• We stream talks online and with live chat
• Can’t attend in person? We can host your talk remotely
• We reimburse speakers for their travel and hotel fees. (If fronting these fees would be a hardship, apply anyway and we’ll talk!)

Apply today!
