Registration
Your registration serves as confirmation that you will be speaking, and you will need to register by Wednesday, July 20, 2022. Please see your notification for the discount code.
If you have a co-speaker or panelists, please confirm with them before selecting your session format. All session presenters + panelists will need to align with the talk type delivery mode (i.e. for any session, a primary speaker cannot present in person with a co-speaker who can only speak virtually. Both speakers would need to present virtually).
If you plan to attend in person, please be aware that anyone coming on site must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and you can review that information on our Health + Safety page. Please check back for updates as we get closer to the event.
All speakers receive complimentary registration and any co-speakers or panelists can register using the same details provided above. If, after your talk is accepted, you add a speaker that was not included in your initial submission, that/those speaker(s) will not receive complimentary registration, but will receive a 40% discount off the prevailing registration rate. Please contact cfp@linuxfoundation.org for details.

Venue & Hotel Accommodations
This year’s event will take place at Convention Centre Dublin in Dublin, Ireland.
We have negotiated a discounted rate at several hotels in the area. Please visit our Venue & Travel page for more information. Rooms will most likely sell out in advance of the room block close dates listed. We encourage you to book early to secure a room at the conference rate. Please, book early. There is a high demand for sleeping rooms in Dublin, especially on the weekends
Schedule, Timing & Speaker Profiles
The schedule will be announced Tuesday, July 12, and will be posted on our website using sched.com.
Most breakout sessions are 40 minutes in duration; lightning talks are 10 minutes in duration; and tutorials are 90 minutes in duration. Please view the schedule for your exact session time.
If you have a conflict with the timing of your talk or find that it conflicts with the content of another talk; or are having problems uploading your bio and photo, please contact cfp@linuxfoundation.org. If you would like to make updates to your speaker profile on sched.com (biography, headshot, titles), send updates directly to cfp@linuxfoundation.org, so they can be integrated with the virtual platform.
Presentation Template & Slide Upload
All speakers are required to submit their final presentation slides ahead of the event. In addition to providing a hard copy for accessibility purposes, we find that adding the presentations before the event helps to drive interest in attending the session.
To upload slides:
An optional presentation template is available to download but is not required. Please see below for the various templates, and reach out to cfp@linuxfoundation.org if you need assistance or would like to request an additional format.
Inclusive Speaker Orientation Online Course
In collaboration with the National Center for Women in Technology (NCWIT), the Linux Foundation has created an online course designed to teach the viewer about inclusion, diversity, and unconscious bias. We highly recommend all of our speakers watch the course to learn tips/tools to use when speaking to encourage inclusivity in presentations and messaging.
Code of Conduct
Please read, and abide, by our code of conduct. Our code of conduct is strictly enforced. We ask that speakers especially review this code of conduct and are careful to be inclusive in the words and images used during their presentations.
