We all start in different places. Our stories are unique.
Maybe you are new to the community. You heard about PowerShell from a friend or coworker. You accidentally clicked on some strange ‘Terminal’ icon and got curious. You stumbled on the PowerShell.org YouTube channel and lost hours but gained knowledge. You listened to every episode of The PowerShell Podcast. You attended the PowerShell Summit. You joined the Summit Discord. You read the PowerShell Documentation. You have a GitHub account and have starred the PowerShell repository. You follow @PowerShell on socials. You have a blog and have written about PowerShell. You have a LinkedIn account and have connected with other PowerShell professionals.
Perhaps you are a technical speaker. You were new once, but now you’ve spoken professionally at work, user groups, and at conferences. Maybe you’ve even spoken at the Summit before. You know the community, because you are the community. You have been a guest on The PowerShell Podcast (multiple times). You are a local legend, but still feel the imposter syndrome daily. You write modules that are used by thousands. You have pull requests in the PowerShell repository. You mentor others in the community.
You want to share your knowledge and experience with others. You want to speak at the Summit.
Your Journey Begins Here
The journey to speaking at the Summit starts with the Call for Proposals (CFP) and ends with you presenting a session at the Summit. Along the way, you will go through several stages, including crafting your proposal, submitting it, going through the evaluation process, and preparing for your session. Each stage has its own challenges and rewards, but the end result is worth it. Let’s dive into each stage of the journey and see what it takes to speak at the Summit!
The Call for Proposals
The Call for Proposals (CFP) is the official announcement that the Summit Content Team is accepting proposals for speakers at the Summit. The CFP is typically announced several months before the Summit, giving potential speakers ample time to prepare and submit their proposals. The CFP will include all the necessary information about the proposal submission process, including deadlines, requirements, and guidelines. It will also provide resources and tips to help you craft a strong proposal that meets the criteria established by the Summit Content Team. The CFP is your opportunity to share your knowledge and experience with the community, so make sure to read the documentation carefully and follow the instructions. CFP information will be shared on the Summit website, the Summit Discord, and through email communications. Keep an eye out for the announcement and start brainstorming your proposal ideas!
The Proposal
The session proposal is one of the first steps to sharing your knowledge and experience at the Summit. The proposal is also your chance to showcase your expertise and establish yourself as a thought leader in the PowerShell and adjacent communities. A strong proposal can open doors to new opportunities, such as speaking at other conferences, writing articles, or even landing a job.
What makes a good proposal? A good proposal is clear, concise, and compelling. It should clearly articulate the topic, the level of the content, and the value it will provide to the audience. A good proposal should also be well-written and free of errors. The Summit Content Team encourages all speakers to take the time to craft a strong proposal that meets the criteria and stands out from the crowd.
What makes a bad proposal? A bad proposal is unclear, vague, or overly broad. It may lack a clear topic or fail to articulate the value it will provide to the audience. It may also be poorly written, with grammatical errors or typos. A bad proposal is recognizable for its overreliance on AI. While AI can be a helpful tool for generating ideas and improving writing, it should not be the sole source of content for a proposal. A bad proposal may also fail to meet the criteria established by the Summit Content Team, such as relevance, originality and creativity of the topic, or quality of the abstract.
Proposals are comprised of several components, including the title, complexity level, the abstract, and the speaker bio. Each component is important and should be crafted with care to ensure that your proposal stands out and meets the criteria established by the Summit Content Team. Let’s take a closer look at each component of a proposal and how to make it strong and compelling.
- Proposal Title
The title of your proposal is the first thing that evaluators and potential attendees will see, so it’s important to make it catchy and descriptive. A good title should be concise, clear, and compelling. It should give a clear indication of what the session will be about and why it is relevant to the audience. A good title can help your proposal stand out from the crowd and attract more attention from evaluators and Summit attendees. Some tips for crafting a good title include:
- Use action words or verbs to make the title more engaging
- Avoid jargon or technical terms that may not be familiar to all attendees (unless your session is specifically targeted at an advanced complexity level)
- Consider using a play on words or a clever phrase to make the title more memorable
- Keep it concise and to the point, ideally under 10 words
Remember, this is the first impression of your proposal, so take the time to craft a title that accurately reflects the content of your session and captures the attention of evaluators and potential attendees.
- Complexity Level
Different topics may be more appropriate for different levels of experience. The Summit Content Team has established the following levels to help guide speakers in crafting their proposals:
-
100 (Beginner): Introductory and foundational- Audience profile: New to PowerShell or still building confidence with core concepts.
- Assumes: Basic terminal familiarity and little or no scripting experience.
- Outcomes: Attendees can run examples, understand core terminology, and complete a simple task after the session.
- Session pattern: What it is, why it matters, first practical steps.
-
200 (Intermediate): Practical and applied- Audience profile: Regular PowerShell users who want to improve quality and efficiency.
- Assumes: Comfort writing scripts, using modules, and troubleshooting basic errors.
- Outcomes: Attendees can implement a repeatable pattern in their own environment.
- Session pattern: Real-world problem, proven approach, implementation walkthrough.
-
300 (Advanced): Deep technical execution- Audience profile: Experienced practitioners solving complex production problems.
- Assumes: Strong scripting fundamentals, architecture awareness, and prior tooling knowledge.
- Outcomes: Attendees can evaluate tradeoffs, adapt patterns, and avoid common failure modes.
- Session pattern: Design decisions, edge cases, performance, maintainability.
-
400 (Expert): Specialized and leading-edge- Audience profile: Experts working on highly complex, niche, or emerging topics.
- Assumes: Significant prior domain knowledge and familiarity with advanced internals.
- Outcomes: Attendees leave with new mental models, advanced techniques, or novel approaches.
- Session pattern: Deep internals, uncommon constraints, research-grade or highly specialized content.
- Abstract
The abstract is a critical component of your proposal. It is the summary of your session that will be used by evaluators to determine the relevance and value of your proposal. A good abstract should provide a brief overview of the topic, the level of the content, and the value it will provide to the audience. A good abstract should also be well-written and free of errors. It should be engaging and make the reader want to learn more about your session. Abstracts do not need to be fully fleshed out at the time of submission, but they should provide enough detail to give evaluators a clear understanding of what your session will be about and why it is relevant to the audience.
- Speaker Bio
Your speaker bio is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the evaluators and potential attendees. A good bio should be concise, clear, and compelling. It should provide a brief overview of your background and expertise. A good bio should also highlight any relevant accomplishments or contributions you have made to the community. Your bio should be well-written and free of errors. Use a high-quality photo of yourself, and consider including links to your social media profiles, blog, or GitHub account to help establish your credibility and connect with the community. Remember, your bio is your chance to make a strong first impression.
Note: The Summit Content Evaluation Team does not consider the speaker bio during the first phase (blind review) of the evaluation process.
- Tips for Crafting a Strong Proposal
A key thing to remember is that the guidance you are reading right now is neither exhaustive nor prescriptive. The Summit Content Team encourages all speakers to be creative and original in their proposals; it’s one of the things that makes the Summit such a unique and engaging event. However, there are some general tips and best practices that can help you craft a strong proposal that meets the criteria established by the Summit Content Team.
Ask yourself the following questions as you craft your proposal:
- Is your topic relevant to the Summit theme and audience?
- Does it address a real-world problem or challenge that attendees may face?
- Does it provide practical solutions or insights that attendees can apply in their own environments?
- Does it align with the values and goals of the PowerShell and adjacent communities?
- Is your proposal clear and concise?
- Does it clearly articulate the topic and the value it will provide to the audience?
- Can your target attendee follow without major prerequisite knowledge?
- Does your proposal assume a certain level of experience or knowledge that may not be common among attendees?
- Does it provide enough context and background information for attendees to understand the topic and follow along with the content?
- Is your topic original and creative?
- Does it offer a unique perspective or approach to a common problem?
- Does it cover a topic that has not been extensively covered in previous Summit sessions or other conferences?
- Do your learning outcomes align with the level of content you have chosen for your proposal?
- Are your learning outcomes clear and specific?
- Are your demos and examples appropriate for that audience?
- Avoid using overly complex or advanced examples that may be difficult for attendees to follow.
- Consider using real-world examples that attendees can relate to and apply in their own environments.
- Make sure your examples are well-explained and easy to understand, especially for attendees who may be new to the topic.
- Avoid using examples that rely heavily on specific tools or technologies that may not be widely used or accessible to all attendees.
- Consider providing alternative examples or approaches that can be applied in different environments or with different tools.
- The Common Mistakes
Sometimes, even with the best intentions, proposals can fall short of the criteria established by the Summit Content Team. Some common mistakes that can lead to a proposal being declined include (but are not limited to):
- Lack of clarity or focus in the proposal
- Failure to articulate the value of the session to the audience
- Overly broad or vague topics that do not provide a clear learning outcome
- Proposals that are too similar to previous sessions or do not offer a unique perspective
- Proposals that rely heavily on AI-generated content without adding original insights or perspectives
- Proposals that do not meet the criteria established by the Summit Content Team, such as relevance, originality and creativity of the topic, or quality of the abstract
- Proposals that are poorly written, with grammatical errors or typos
- Proposals that do not follow the guidelines or requirements outlined in the CFP
- Proposals that are not submitted by the deadline
- Proposals that do not include all required components, such as a title, abstract, and speaker bio
- Proposals that do not align with the values and goals of the PowerShell and adjacent communities
- Proposals that contain speaker information in the abstract or title, which can lead to bias in the evaluation process
- Proposal Examples
Here are some example proposals to help you get started. These examples are not meant to be exhaustive or prescriptive, but rather to provide inspiration and guidance as you craft your own proposal. Remember, the most important thing is to share your unique knowledge and experience with the community, so don’t be afraid to be creative and original in your proposal!
Note: The following examples are fictional and are provided for illustrative purposes only. Articulating varying levels of content can be challenging, so these examples are meant to demonstrate how the same topic can be approached from different angles and levels of complexity. The titles, abstracts, and other details are intentionally humorous to focus on the structure and content rather than specific topics. Additionally, a real abstract may need to articulate content more clearly and with more detail than these examples, but they serve to illustrate the general idea of how to structure a proposal for different levels of experience.
Overarching Topic: “Making Toast”
Title: Making Toast: A Beginner's Guide to Bread and Heat
Level: 100 (Beginner Level)
Abstract:
You have bread. You have a toaster. What could go wrong? As it turns out, quite a lot. In this session we will walk through the complete toast-making process from start to finish, covering the core concepts of slot identification, darkness selection, and the critical importance of staying in the room. No prior toaster experience is required, but attendees should be comfortable holding bread. By the end of this session, you will be able to produce consistent, edible toast on your first attempt and understand why the smoke alarm is not a doneness indicator. We will also briefly cover the most common beginner mistake: applying butter before the bread has entered the toaster.
Title: Toast Darkness Consistency Across Multiple Appliances
Level: 200 (Intermediate Level)
Abstract:
You have been making toast for years. You know what you like. The problem is that the toaster at home, the toaster at the office, and the toaster at your in-laws' house all have a different definition of "4." This session explores the real-world challenge of achieving repeatable toast outcomes across heterogeneous appliance environments. We will cover thermal variance between manufacturers, building a personal darkness baseline, handling the chunky-vs-smooth decision as an environment-specific variable, and why you should never trust the "medium" label on any toaster made after 2009. Attendees will leave with a repeatable calibration process they can apply immediately as well as a justified distrust of toaster labeling conventions.
Title: Controlling the Maillard Reaction: Advanced Toast Configuration at Scale
Level: 300 (Advanced Level)
Abstract:
Most people think toast is binary: bread goes in, toast comes out. Experienced practitioners know the truth is far more complex. This session takes a deep dive into the Maillard reaction as a configurable process, examining the variables that govern browning outcomes: moisture content, ambient humidity, slice thickness tolerances, and surface-to-heating-element proximity. We will explore idempotency challenges (what actually happens when you toast twice), pre-warming protocols for cold-start toasters, and input validation strategies for edge cases including dense rye, frozen waffles, and the ever-problematic English muffin. Attendees will leave with a mental model for diagnosing inconsistent results in production toast environments and a set of compensating controls for appliances that cannot be replaced.
Title: Stochastic Thermal Modeling for Deterministic Carbohydrate Browning Outcomes
Level: 400 (Expert Level)
Abstract:
The toast problem is, at its core, an unsolved problem in applied thermodynamics. Despite decades of consumer appliance iteration, the industry has failed to deliver deterministic browning outcomes across varied input states. This session presents a formal framework for modeling toast production as a stochastic thermal process, incorporating variables including heating element degradation curves, bread density distribution, crumb structure porosity, and inter-slice thermal bleed in dual-slot configurations. We examine failure mode taxonomy — with particular attention to the catastrophic class of failures colloquially known as "bagel mode" — and propose a statistical process control methodology for achieving six-sigma toast consistency under real-world conditions. Attendees are expected to have prior experience with at least two toaster generations and should be comfortable with the concept of acceptable char variance. No bread will be provided.
The Evaluation Process
Evaluations are conducted once the CFP has concluded, and are how the Summit Content Team determines which proposals will be accepted to be presented at the Summit. The evaluation process is designed to be thorough, fair, and rigorous. The Summit Content Team has established criteria for evaluating proposals, and they rely on the expertise and judgment of evaluators to make informed decisions. The evaluation process is competitive, so it’s important to submit a strong proposal that meets the criteria and stands out from the crowd. The Summit Content Team encourages all speakers to submit their best proposals and to take advantage of the resources and any feedback available to improve their chances of being accepted.
- The Evaluators
Several members of the community volunteer their time to evaluate the proposals. They will review your proposal and may provide feedback based on the criteria established by the Summit Content Team. The evaluation process is rigorous and competitive, but it is also fair and transparent. The evaluators will do their best to provide constructive feedback to help you improve your proposal, even if it is not accepted.
- The Criteria
The Summit Content Team spends a considerable amount of time establishing the criteria for evaluating proposals. These requirements and guidelines are intended to aid evaluators in rating proposals. Some examples of criteria include (but are not limited to):
- Relevance to the Summit theme and audience
- Clarity and conciseness of the proposal
- Originality and creativity of the topic
- Depth, breadth, and level of the content
- Speaker’s experience and expertise
- Quality of the abstract
- The Timeline
Proposal evaluations typically take place over several weeks, with multiple phases of review. The exact timeline may vary from year to year, but the Summit Content Team will communicate the timeline clearly in the CFP and through email communications. It’s important to be patient during the evaluation process, as it can take time for evaluators to review all the proposals and (optionally) provide feedback. The Summit Content Team will do their best to update the community on the progress of the evaluations and to communicate any important dates or deadlines. Make sure to keep an eye on your email and the Summit Discord for updates on the evaluation process.
– Evaluation Phase 1: Blind Review
The first phase of the evaluation process is a blind review. This means that the evaluators will review the proposals without knowing who submitted them. This helps to ensure that the evaluation process is fair and unbiased. The evaluators will review each proposal based on the criteria established by the Summit Content Team, and may provide feedback to help improve the proposals. Proposals are scored as either Accepted or Declined, reducing the pool of proposals to a more manageable number for the next phase of evaluation.
– Evaluation Phase 2: Comparison Review
The second phase of the evaluation process is a comparison review. This means that the evaluators will review the proposals that were accepted in the first phase and compare them against each other. The CFP platform utilizes the Elo rating system to help rank the proposals, allowing for a more nuanced evaluation by considering the relative strength of each proposal compared to others. Once the comparison review is complete, the Summit Content Team will make the final decisions on which proposals will be accepted.
- Proposal Feedback
Evaluators may provide feedback on various aspects of your proposal, including clarity, relevance, and potential impact. This feedback is intended to help you improve your proposal, whether it is accepted or not. If your proposal is accepted, the feedback can help you prepare for your presentation and ensure that it resonates with the audience. If your proposal is not accepted, the feedback can help you understand why and how to improve for future submissions. The Summit Content Team encourages evaluators to provide constructive feedback; however, depending on the volume of proposals and the time constraints, not all proposals may receive detailed feedback or any feedback at all. Regardless, if you would like to inquire about proposal feedback, you can reach out to the Summit Content Team via email or through the Summit Discord. They will do their best to provide you with any feedback that is available.
- Proposal Accepted
Hey! You did it! Your proposal was accepted! Provided schedules align and you are able to attend, you will be invited to speak at the Summit! Congratulations! This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to your knowledge and experience in the community.
Accepted proposals will be scheduled for presentation at the Summit. Speakers receive free entry to the Summit, as well as an honorarium for each accepted proposal.
Note: The honorarium is intended to help offset the costs associated with preparing and delivering a presentation at the Summit. The exact amount of the honorarium may vary from year to year, and it is not intended to be a full compensation for the time and effort involved in speaking at the Summit. The Summit Content Team encourages speakers to view the honorarium as a token of appreciation for their contribution to the community, rather than as a primary motivation for speaking at the Summit. To be clear: there is no compensation for travel, lodging, or other expenses related to speaking at the Summit. Speakers are responsible for covering their own expenses, and the honorarium is not intended to cover these costs.
Note: Honorariums may be declined or donated back to the Summit at the speaker’s discretion.
- Proposal Declined
The hard truth is that not everyone who submits a proposal will be accepted to speak at the Summit. The competition is fierce, and the selection process is rigorous. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try! Even if your proposal is not accepted, you can still learn from the feedback (if available) and improve for next time. And who knows, maybe your proposal will be accepted in the future! The important thing is to keep trying and keep improving. Mentoring opportunities are available for those who want to improve their proposals and increase their chances of being accepted. Don’t be discouraged by rejection, use it as motivation to keep going!
- Proposal Waitlist
Sometimes, even if your proposal is not accepted, you may be placed on a waitlist. This means that if any of the accepted speakers withdraw or are unable to attend, you may be given the opportunity to speak at the Summit. So, don’t give up hope if you are placed on the waitlist! The Summit Content Team will communicate with you regarding waitlist status and any potential opportunities to speak. Watch your email and the Summit Discord for updates. And remember, even if you don’t get to speak at the Summit this time, there are many other opportunities to share your knowledge and experience with the community.
Proposal Selection
Once evaluations have concluded, the Summit Content Team will review the results and make the final decisions on which proposals will be accepted to speak at the Summit. The selection process is based on the criteria established by the Summit Content Team, as well as the feedback provided by the evaluators. The Summit Content Team will also consider factors such as diversity of topics, speakers, and perspectives to ensure a well-rounded and engaging lineup for the Summit. The selection process is competitive, but it is also fair.
- Speaker Confirmation
Once evaluations have concluded, the Summit Content Team will reach out to accepted speakers and verify that they are able to attend the Summit and present their session(s). This is an important step in the process, as it helps to ensure that the speakers who are selected to speak at the Summit are able to fulfill their commitments and provide a great experience for attendees. The Summit Content Team will communicate with accepted speakers via email and through the Summit Discord, providing them with all the necessary information and resources to prepare for their presentation. If you are an accepted speaker, make sure to respond promptly to any communications from the Summit Content Team and to ask any questions you may have. We are here to support you and help you succeed!
- Speakers Announced!
Once the evaluation phases conclude and speakers have been contacted, the Summit Content Team will announce the accepted speakers. This is an exciting moment! Keep an eye on your email, the Summit Discord, and the Summit website for the official announcements. You will be provided with all the information you need to prepare, including deadlines, templates, and resources. Make sure to read all communications carefully and ask any questions you may have. This is your opportunity to shine and share your knowledge with the community, so make the most of it!
- Celebration
Way to go! You are going to speak at the Summit! Take a moment to celebrate this achievement! Share the news with your friends, family, and colleagues. Post about it on social media, and be sure to tag the Summit and use the official hashtags #PSHSummit. Treat yourself to something special. You deserve it! And remember, this is just the beginning of your journey as a speaker at the Summit. There is still much to prepare and learn, but you have already taken the first step.
- Preparation
Now it’s time to start preparing for your presentation. The Summit Content Team will provide you with all the necessary resources and guidelines to help you create a compelling and engaging presentation. They are available via email and Discord. Make sure to review the provided materials, follow the templates, and adhere to the deadlines. Preparation is key to delivering a successful presentation, so take the time to plan, practice, and refine your content.
- Rehearsal
We know that some speakers think they can just ‘wing it’, but rehearsing is crucial. Accepted proposals must adhere to their allotted length of time. Rehearsing your presentation helps to ensure that you can deliver it within the agreed upon time and that it flows well. Conveyance is key! You want to make sure that your audience can follow along and understand your message. Rehearsing also helps you identify any areas that may need improvement, such as pacing, transitions, or clarity. It’s a good idea to practice in front of a friend or colleague who can provide feedback and help you refine your presentation. The more you rehearse, the more confident you will be on the day of your presentation. Ensure that you also practice any demos or live coding you plan to include in your presentation, as these can be particularly tricky to execute smoothly.
- Withdrawal
If for any reason you are unable to attend the Summit or present your session, it is important to notify the Summit Content Team as soon as possible. This allows them to make any necessary adjustments to the schedule and potentially offer the opportunity to a speaker on the waitlist. If you need to withdraw from your session, please reach out to the Summit Content Team via email or through the Summit Discord, and they will assist you with the process. Remember, communication is key, and we are here to support you throughout this journey.
Lack of communication regarding session withdrawal can lead to scheduling issues and missed opportunities for other speakers, so please make sure to communicate promptly if you need to withdraw from your session.
Summit
It is finally here! Summit has arrived! This is the moment you have been preparing for, and it’s time to share your knowledge and experience with the community.
- Preparation
Your session is scheduled; determine the logistics and plan accordingly. Day, time, and room assignments are important details to note. If time allows and the assigned room is empty, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the space and ensure everything is set up correctly. Connect your devices, test your equipment, and make sure everything is functioning as expected.
This is important enough to justify it’s own section: Determine when to stop modifying your presentation. It’s easy to get caught up in making last-minute changes, but at some point, you need to stop and focus on rehearsing and preparing for the actual presentation. Make sure to give yourself enough time to practice and refine your delivery, rather than getting stuck in an endless cycle of tweaking your slides, content, or code.
On the day of your presentation, make sure to arrive early, set up your materials, and take a deep breath before you go on stage. You’ve got this! Remember, you are among friends and colleagues who are excited to learn from you. Enjoy the experience, engage with your audience, and have fun sharing your passion!
- Presentation
You are on stage! This is your moment to shine! Deliver your presentation with confidence and enthusiasm. Engage with your audience, make eye contact, and be yourself. Remember, you are sharing your knowledge and experience with the community, so focus on providing value and making a connection with your audience. Don’t worry about being perfect; just be authentic and share your passion for PowerShell, automation, AI, cloud, IaC, or whatever you are speaking about.
– Tips for Presenting
Here are some tips to help you deliver a successful presentation:
- Pace yourself and speak clearly
- There is a tendency to speak faster when you are nervous, but try to slow down and enunciate your words. This will help your audience understand you better and follow along with your presentation.
- Stay on time
- Make sure to keep track of your time and adjust your presentation accordingly. If you find yourself running out of time, prioritize the most important points and be prepared to skip less critical content if necessary.
- Be mindful of your body language
- Use gestures and movement to engage with your audience, but avoid pacing or fidgeting, which can be distracting.
- Make eye contact with your audience
- This helps to establish a connection with your audience and makes your presentation more engaging.
- Use visuals and examples to illustrate your points
- This can help to make your presentation more engaging and easier to understand.
- Avoid reading from your slides or notes, as this can make your presentation less engaging and harder to follow.
- Be prepared for questions
- Anticipate potential questions from your audience and prepare thoughtful responses. This will help you feel more confident during the Q&A session and provide valuable insights to your audience.
- It is helpful to repeat or paraphrase the question before answering, to ensure that you understand it correctly and to give yourself a moment to think about your response. It also is helpful for the recording, as it provides context for viewers who may be watching later and may not have heard the original question clearly.
- Ensure you have a backup plan in case of technical difficulties
- Be prepared to adapt your presentation if something goes wrong, such as a demo not working, conference wifi issues, or a slide not displaying correctly.
- The Aftermath
Congratulations! You have successfully delivered your presentation at the Summit! Take a moment to celebrate this achievement and reflect on your experience. You have shared your knowledge and experience with the community, and that is something to be proud of. After your presentation, take the time to engage with your audience, answer any questions, and connect with other speakers and attendees. This is a great opportunity to build relationships and expand your network within the PowerShell and adjacent communities.
Speakers are required to share their presentation materials, including slides and code samples, with the Summit Content Team. This allows the Summit to provide these resources to attendees and ensures that your content can continue to provide value even after the Summit has concluded. Make sure to submit your materials according to the guidelines provided by the Summit Content Team.
Any recordings of your presentation will be made available to attendees and may also be shared publicly on the Summit website and YouTube channel. This is a great way to reach a wider audience and share your knowledge with those who were not able to attend the Summit in person. Any audience feedback will be shared with you by the Summit Content Team, and this feedback can be invaluable for improving your future presentations and understanding the impact of your session on the community.
The Rewards
Fame? Glory?! Honor?! Money?!?! Maybe!
Speaking at the Summit can provide many rewards, both tangible and intangible. As previously stated, speakers receive free entry to the Summit, as well as an honorarium for each accepted proposal. Beyond that, speaking at the Summit can help you establish yourself within the community, expand your network, and open up new opportunities for collaboration and growth. It can also be a deeply rewarding experience to share your knowledge and experience with others and to contribute to the growth and development of the community. The rewards of speaking at the Summit go far beyond any material benefits; they are about making a positive impact on the community and sharing your passion with others.
