DevReach 2013 call for speakers is now open! The 8th edition of the international developer conference will be on 1-2 October in Sofia. We are looking for passionate, creative speakers eager to engage with the audience and share their knowledge.

Please download the DevReach 2013 call for speakers template, fill it in and send it to speak@devreach.com by 20 May.
...or simply shoot your thoughts and proposals at speak@devreach.com if you prefer (you might expect some clarifying questions from our side in this case).

Topics of interest include:

HTML5, iOS, Android, Windows 8 / Windows Phone 8, Cloud, .NET, JavaScript, Agile, Testing, Functional Programming, Databases, Web UX, Tools, etc.

If you have an idea for a session you deem interesting for the audience which doesn’t fall into the topics mentioned above, just send us your proposal and our conference committee will consider it.

We believe that talent and knowledge have no gender or age. Last year among our 40+ speakers we had 7 women – all of them great experts in their field. We also gave the floor to some speakers to make their first appearance at an international conference. We understand that it might be challenging to prove that one deserves to be among the world class speakers and we are open to give a talent the opportunity to join top experts and speak in front of our international audience.

Please note that Telerik covers up to 2 000 USD for T&E per speaker. Our Travel Team will assist you with flights and hotel booking. The hotel/food during the conference is also covered and last but not least :) - on the day after the conference (3 October) we organize a special Cultural Day trip for all the speakers. Eager to join us?

We look forward to hearing from you soon :)!
