TL;DR: NixCon 2023 Call For Papers closes in 5 days! Go here to submit a talk
As we eagerly prepare for NixCon 2023, I’m reminded of how the introduction of diverse voices has wonderfully transformed our community. Witnessing the positive impact firsthand, I urge you all to be part of this transformative journey.
For me, it’s clear that diversity has enriched our discussions, expanded our horizons, and brought forth fresh insights. This very diversity within our community should naturally find its place on the NixCon stage. That’s why I personally invite those from minority and underrepresented backgrounds to share their experiences and viewpoints openly.
NixCon isn’t just an event; it’s a celebration of our collective brilliance. Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or an emerging talent, your contribution matters profoundly.
Join me in advocating for change. Submit your talk proposals by 2023-08-10T23:00:00Z to help us create an event that mirrors the rich tapestry of our community’s perspectives.
Here are some information on the CfP, feel free to ask if you need any clarification or reach me out for any doubt:
Public speaking mentoring:
This year, NixCon is excited to introduce a new initiative aimed at nurturing public speaking skills within our community.
We understand that public speaking can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking, especially for those taking the stage for the first time.
That’s why we’re offering public speaking mentoring to all speakers, regardless of experience level. Whether you’re seeking constructive feedback, guidance on content delivery, or simply looking to boost your confidence, our dedicated mentors are here to support you.
At the moment, this mentoring will be held by myself (@RaitoBezarius) and @zimbatm!
