Global Diversity CFP Day

Advance registration needed.


On Saturday 3rd February 2018 there will be numerous workshops hosted around the globe encouraging and advising newbie speakers to put together your very first talk proposal and share your own individual perspective on any subject of interest to people in tech. Mozilla and the Mozilla TechSpeakers will bring this global event to Brussels during the first day of FOSDEM, and during the workshop will also provide CFP help and mentoring to any of the FOSDEM participants.

Global Diversity CFP Day is an event happening across the globe, simultaneously in 40+ cities on the 3rd of February. The Brussels event is organized at FOSDEM as the libre conference/community gathering and the GDCFPDay dates coincide happening on the same weekend. The Brussels event is organized by the Mozilla TechSpeakers, a community program by Mozilla for empowering and improving the skills of community public speakers in Mozilla's open-source community.
