Submitting A Talk

Who can submit talks to HH.js?

We welcome and encourage everyone to submit a talk! Whether you have been writing JavaScript for 20 years or few days, experienced or 1st time speaker, we want to hear what you are excited about.

How do I submit a talk?

Visit our proposals GitHub repository and create a new issue using the appropriate template. Make sure to pick up to 3 months that work for you!

What would be a good talk topic?

We accept a variety of technical and non-technical talks and the audience has varying technical backgrounds and interests.

Talks from accepted proposals are usually focused on, but not limited to:

  • Sharing the process and journey of how you created something and what you've learned.
  • Achieving empathy in the workplace.
  • A dive into a particular technical concept.

Examples of topics that may not get accepted:

  • Why x framework is better than y framework.
  • Startup or company pitches.

We've found that the best talks tell a story, we encourage you to get creative!

When are speakers chosen?

We usually select speakers two weeks before an event.

⚠️ Current employees of hosts are not selected to speak on the months of their employer's sponsorship.
