DDD Foundations is a 1 day event aimed at *all* roles in software, of all levels: decision makers, analysts, testers, product owners, architects, and programmers. We accept 25 min sessions. These should highlight one aspect of DDD, or DDD in relation to one aspect of the entire development process, from the first customer contact to the last deployment.

EventSourcing 2020 is a new 1 day conference aimed at the growing CQRS & Event Sourcing community. We're looking for 25 an 45 minute talks, on advanced and innovative ideas for applying CQRS/ES.

1. Send us as many proposals as you’d like, for as many as the accepted formats as you like, before the submission deadline on October 15 2019.
2. Even before the deadline, we might start accepting proposals, so being early helps.
3. We might ask you to have a short conference call with us. Sometimes we like to ask for clarifications, or suggest changes to the contents or the format. If we contact you for such a call, it is not a guarantee your proposal will be accepted.
4. We’ll notify you at latest 60 days after the submission deadline whether your idea is accepted or not. We'll ask for a final confirmation before announcing you.
5. Even after the you've been accepted, we'd like to help you make the most of your presentation or workshop. That's why we offer presentation support. We'll put you in touch with other speakers, to help you develop your material, be your soundboard, and give you feedback. We might also ask you to do the same for others. We've found that even for experienced speakers, a bit of back and forth can greatly improve the presentation or workshop.

Evaluating a submission based on nothing but an abstract is hard. Help us get to know you and your ideas by:

• Sending us links to your content.
• Blogging about your topic.
• Talk about it at a local meetup. There are plenty of DDD (and other) meetups across Europe, and most of them are happy to have new and inexperienced speakers.
• Record your own video, ... Be creative!
• We generally prefer talks that are not technology-specific, although exceptions are possible. Code examples in talks are welcome, but should be understandable by developers not familiar with your programming language.
• Building a program involves lots of trade-offs, and often we have the painful task of refusing great proposals for other reasons than the topic. If yours is not accepted, please consider this an invitation to try again next year.
• If you would like to pitch your product or service, we provide plenty of sponsorship opportunities. A 1-minute pitch at the beginning or end of your talk is acceptable.

If you have already bought a ticket, and your proposal is accepted, we'll fully refund it. Or you can give it away to a friend or colleague.
