WWCode is looking for dynamic speakers working in technology who want to share their expertise. We aim to have speakers that represent the talent and rich diversity of our community.

The goal is to share technical and soft skill experiences with technical leaders, software developers, product managers, designers and other technologists. If you use a specific language, your talk should be understandable by good developers, even if they don’t know the exact language syntax (short snippets or pseudo-code are totally fine). Attendees will be able to take away changes that can improve their day-to-day jobs.

Don’t be afraid to bring up advanced stuff and even try your hand at live demo-ing. Tracks will include: AI/ML, DataScience, Mobile, Full Stack, Blockchain, Security, Cloud, and Python

Submissions by professional and first-time speakers are welcome. If you have an awesome idea, submit it! We will be happy to give you the necessary feedback to make sure it matches audience expectations.
