Please adhere to the following guidelines when submitting your talk to droidcon New York 2023. We cannot guarantee that if you follow these suggestions that your talk will be accepted, but you will have a much better chance:

1. Please ensure that your talk title and description match and that the title accurately reflects your topic

We all love a cute and catchy talk title with a nice play on words, but the program committee (and attendees for that matter) should be able to tell at a glance what topic your session will cover. We also ask that you be aware of our code of conduct when choosing your title.

2. Define key takeaways and learning points

You will help the committee select your topic if you can explain what you hope audience members will learn. Please try and include three to five key points that make your talk stand out from others. (This is important because we often receive 4-5 submissions on the same topic.) The more concrete (and relevant) these learning points are to the audience/conference, the better.

3. What is your experience level with the topic?

You don’t have to be a level 12 Black Belt in Kotlin to get your talk accepted. The committee does however need to know what your experience level with the topics is. Is the app or technology you are working being deployed at scale? Is it a hobby or side-project? What are your real-world experiences with the topic?

4. Have you given this talk before?

Please let us know if (and where) you have given this talk before. How was the talk received? How has it changed from the past? What new information can we expect.

5. Keywords

We have included a pre-defined list of keywords in the CFP tool. If none of them fit, please include a list of relevant keywords in your talk submission text. This will help us find your talk using a search tool when we are looking for a particular topic or technology.

The Call for Paper is open until June 15, 2023.

For questions please send an email to nyc-speaker@droidcon.com

Submissions will be evaluated by our program committee consisting of experienced Android professionals. Selected speakers will get an acceptance email from us in July 2023.

The program committee will need about 2 weeks after the Call for Papers has concluded to vote on and choose talks. Selected talks will get an acceptance email from droidcon New York.

We will continuously publish accepted sessions on our website once they are confirmed. In addition, the talks will be published via our social media channels. We aim to publish a preliminary schedule in July.

Travel and accommodation will be covered on a case-by-case basis. If you require financial assistance, please reach out to us on nyc-speaker@droidcon.com once your talk has been selected and before August 21 so that we have time to get everything ready. Most companies will reimburse your travel cost. For those, we offer a complimentary sponsorship, the so-called Speaker Sponsorship Program, if they support your professional development as a speaker through travel assistance. This includes:

• Logo placement on website
• Social Media shoutout

Please fill out this form if your company is covering your expenses and you’d like to proceed with the Speaker Sponsorship Program. If you are a Google Developer Expert, we can also apply with Google to have your travel expenses covered.

Each Session will be recorded and made available to the participants in a timely manner.

Our conference is supported by default with audio / video technology. If you present with your own laptop please make sure that you carry all the adapters with you. If you have special requirements please contact our team in time.

Accepted speakers will get a free ticket for themselves and one guest. If you already bought a ticket, let us know and it will be refunded. Expenses will be reimbursed on a case by case basis – please let us know shortly after being selected so that we have time to get everything ready.

To receive a letter of invitation, please fill out this typeform with the required informations. We’ll get back to you ASAP!
