Our Focus and Tracks:

We organise our talks and tracks under the broad categories of Google-based technologies, tools and techniques:

AI: Gemini, Gemma, Vertex AI, Generative AI in general.

Mobile (Android/Flutter)

Web: Angular, Chrome, etc

Cloud: GCP, DevOps, etc

Beyond (e.g., Design, "soft" developer skills and career advice talks, and similar non-technical talks)

What We're Looking For:

We value experience-based talks. Very importantly, we want speakers at this event to go beyond slide decks and actually demonstrate what they've built, or live code some project on stage, so they can engage and inspire the attendees.

We won't consider proposals that:

  • Simply repeat documentation without sharing your personal experience and lessons learned
  • Act as a pitch or sales pitch for a company or product. While mentioning your company is fine, it shouldn't be the primary focus.
  • Are recruitment talks aimed at talent acquisition.

Session Formats:

Sessions will have a duration not exceeding 60 minutes, including Q&A. Talks with co-speakers are welcome.

For New or Inexperienced Speakers:

First-time or inexperienced speakers are encouraged to request assistance from our organizing team. We're here to provide advice on your slides and help you rehearse for a successful presentation.

Language Requirement:

All sessions must be presented in English.

Important Note:

Please note that this is an in-person event, and speakers must be able to travel to Cape Town to deliver their talk. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide travel and accommodation funds.
