Tips

Always keep your audience in mind when writing your biography, the title, summary, and description of your talk. Write them as if we were going to publish them as is on our website. Please use the “Specific needs” field if you need to tell the staff about anything (e.g. your flexibility regarding giving the same talk in a different format).

While we do not discriminate on your writing skills, our pre-selection process requires that every member of the staff read and vote on every proposition. This is an extremely time-consuming process and the more attention you put in a clear and well-written presentation, the better are your chances of being selected.

Please note that we do not accept marketing or commercial presentations.


Proposals submission

In order to provide a fair selection process, we limit the number of submissions to 5 per speaker and a maximum of 2 speakers per paper.

When you submit a proposal, it is stored as a draft that you can modify later on. You can save as many drafts as you want.

When you are ready to submit your proposal to the staff, you have to publish it. Once published, it becomes available to the staff but cannot be modified afterwards, so do not publish it if you are not finished.
Also at the time of the call for proposal closing, any proposal in draft status will not be considered for the selection.


Selection process

Every staff member of Paris Web will receive and study every proposal then we will make a pre-selection based on our individual evaluations.
Finally we will all gather and compose together the schedule, as diverse and balanced as possible.

Whether your proposal is selected or not, we will get back to you by e-mail once we have completed our selection process.


Support

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced speaker, anyone can submit a proposal to Paris Web. We are here to make sure that everything goes smoothly for you as a speaker.

If you are selected as a speaker, we will offer:

  • individual support for your talk preparation,
  • the travel to Paris — we will refund your transportation fees towards the venue,
  • the accommodation in a hotel near the venue during the event,
  • a full access so you can attend the entire event.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via email, on Twitter or the fediverse.


Recording

Each talk will be recorded by a professional team to be made available for video replay on our wesbite later on.

You can take a look at the previous editions of Paris Web on our website.
