Call for presentations

Driving IT 2025 brings together the full spectrum of technology for a full day of in-depth exploration, critical perspectives, and joyful nerdiness. We invite speakers who have something substantial to share—from technical deep dives to thought-provoking takes on the role of tech in today’s world.
If you’ve built tools, solved hard problems, or challenged how we think about technology — this is your moment to share it.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome proposals that dig deep and deliver real substance for a tech-savvy audience. This year’s expected topics for Driving IT include:

• AI & Machine Learning: Practical applications and future outlooks, developer focus.
• Security & Privacy: From real-world threats to secure design and compliance.
• Tools & Tech Stacks: Languages, platforms, and developer workflows.
• UX & Digital Design: User experience, accessibility, and design ethics.
• Quantum & Emerging Tech: What’s next—and what matters.
• Open Source: Building, maintaining, and contributing in the open.

We’re also keen on talks that go beyond these themes—if it’s relevant and rooted in experience, we want to hear it.

Presentation Formats

• Talks: 20 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A. Concise, focused, technically sharp.
• Keynotes: 30–40 minutes. Broad, bold, and inspiring.

What We’re Not Looking For

Sales pitches. Driving IT is about learning, not lead generation.

Why Speak at Driving IT?

• Share your expertise: With a community that values technical depth.
• Connect with peers: Driving IT is also about dialogue, discussion, and discovery.
• Make an impact: Your experience can shape how others think and work.
