Want to share your knowledge? Most conferences accept talk proposals through a CFP (Call for Papers) process. Here's how to get accepted.
The best talks solve real problems. Share a challenge you faced and how you solved it. Audiences connect with 'I had this problem too' moments.
Avoid generic topics like 'Introduction to React Native'. Instead, try 'How We Reduced Our App Bundle Size by 60%' — specific, measurable, interesting.
Include code examples, demos, or case studies. Conference organizers love proposals that promise live coding or real-world examples.
Research the conference. App.js is Expo-focused, Chain React is community-driven. Tailor your proposal to fit the conference's vibe.
Most CFPs have hundreds of submissions. Earlier submissions often get more attention. Don't wait until the last day.
Why are you the right person to give this talk? Include relevant experience, previous talks, or projects that establish credibility.
