Registration
Your registration serves as confirmation that you will be speaking, and you will need to register as either an in-person OR virtual speaker by Wednesday, September 7. If you are not registered by September 7, there is a possibility that your speaking slot will be replaced by one on our waiting list, so please do so promptly.
IN-PERSON – use the voucher code O3DCON22SPK, and select “In-Person Speaker” from the drop-down menu
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.
If you are unable to present, please let us know as soon as possible.

Presentation Details
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. The deadline for presentations is Friday, October 14.
To upload slides:
An optional PowerPoint template is available to download but is not required.
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.
