All talk, workshop and code jam submissions should assume that the audience has as understanding of the core concepts of functional programming and will have experience using one or more FP languages (such as Clojure, Elixir, Erlang, F#, Functional JavaScript, Functional Python, J, Haskell, Lisp, ML, OCaml, Q, Scala or Scheme). Attendees seeking an introduction to functional programming languages and techniques are strongly encouraged to take a tutorial on day one.
Nothing upsets an audience more than a speaker that stands on stage blatantly promoting his or her company, product or achievements. Please keep the content of your talk on-topic and do not use this speaking opportunity as a sales pitch.
Depending on the number of submissions or the content of your submission, the program committee may ask if you would be prepared to accept a different session length.
Unsuccessful submitters are entitled to purchase tickets to the conference at the Early Bird price.
Provide sufficient detail in your submission to enable the reviewers to understand your proposal and clearly identify what an attendee will gain from attending your session. Use the following table as a guide to completing your submission in the ConfEngine system:
