<p>A talk is where you present, usually with slides and demos, to an audience. The default time slot for <strong>each talk and Q&A is 35 minutes</strong> (we recommend 25-minute talk and 10-minute Q&A). <strong>A talk has one primary speaker</strong> and, optionally, a secondary speaker. Consider recruiting your colleagues to interact with people online while you are talking live at the conference.</p><p>A talk should be bite-sized and focused on a certain topic. This means that you should not expect to be able to cover multiple broad areas in one talk. You can submit more than one proposal, to cover a set of topics, but we cannot guarantee their final scheduled order. Therefore, we recommend topics be independent so that they do not need to be presented in a specific order.</p><p>Please note that this year <strong>all presentations will be delivered in person</strong>. We plan to stream talks online and make sure in-person as well as online audiences can participate in Q&A and chat.</p>

<p>Each track/theme has a review committee of 3 - 7 members that are subject-matter experts. The process consists of multiple phases to ensure fair and thorough evaluation:</p><ol><li><strong>Blind Review</strong>: Reviewers assess anonymized proposals based solely on content.</li><li><strong>Full-view Review</strong>: Speaker details are revealed to ensure diversity and track balance.</li><li><strong>Captain Review</strong>: Track captains prioritize talks, ensuring a mix of topics and experience levels.</li><li><strong>Final Selection</strong>: The CfP Committee makes final decisions, prioritizing sessions across all tracks holistically, and preparing speaker notifications.</li></ol><p>Decisions are based on content quality, alignment with track themes, diversity in difficulty levels, and speaker experience. Since DevConf events are organized globally, we prioritize speakers from the same region as the event. For DevConf.CZ, that includes Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.</p><p>During the review process, track captains may move your session to another track without prior notification. They can also contact you and suggest changing the session format, combining talks, or identifying potential keynotes.</p><p>The acceptance rate for talks is around <strong>25%</strong>, with a limit of <strong>one 35-minutes talk per speaker</strong>. However, speakers may have other session formats accepted, and in some cases, we may fill last-minute gaps with additional talks from speakers who are already present.</p>
