Call for Speakers

Open source days will take place the 10th and 11th March 2012 at Copenhagen Business School and training will be available 9th of March. We are looking for gifted, entertaining and technically enlightened speakers for the conference.

Training courses - Half or full day

As something new we will want to try out longer training courses - half or full day, held on the day before the conference itself.

We are looking for both subjects and instructors.

Since we expect the course participants to pay for the training, we are willing to pay the instructor for giving the course, provided that a sufficient number of people sign up.

Naturally the course instructors also get free access to the conference, since we also hope to get a normal talk out of the instructor.

Normal Talks - 45 minutes

This year we will have a track with focus on the use of open source software in newly created startups and another track with focus on green technologies.

Non-startup related talks are also of interest and we’ll try to fit them into various related tracks.

Speakers can attend the conference free of charge and to some extent we might be able to reimburse your travel and hotel.

Normal talks should be presented in english.

Lightning Talks - 15 minutes

Talk about anything you like. Tell us about your idea for a new project, how you made your first Qt application or something completely different. For lightning talks, only your imagination and the timeframe are the limiting factors.

If you have never tried doing a presentation before, but are working on something you believe other people might find interesting, then this is a good opportunity to start.

Lightning talk speakers can attend the conference free of charge.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships can be in the range of DKK 10000 and up. Please write to sponsor2012@opensourcedays.org if you are interested in becoming a conference sponsor.
