With all conferences going virtual this year, it's easier than ever to give a presentation: no travel days and no hotel costs. So how do you convince the organizers of an event that you're the right person with the right topic?
MongoDB veteran speakers Lauren Schaefer and Sven Peters have spoken at over 300 events and will share their tips and tricks and how to avoid pitfalls when submitting a proposal to speak at a conference.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to identify a topic that is perfect for both you and the conference, create a compelling title, and write a convincing abstract. And don't worry—you don't need to have tons of experience in public speaking to land your first gig.
20. A successful application will require
modifications over its lifetime. The question is
not if, but when.
This presentation will follow the life of an
application and the diverse life-altering events
it will go through. Events that require changes
to the schema, the resources it needs, growing
into a sharded cluster and, the security
requirements it must satisfy.
Knowing that you can evolve your application
without downtime may be for you a sufficient
single reason to use MongoDB for your
applications.

Learnings
31. Sven Peters, developer advocate at MongoDB, has
been studying trends in software development for
the last 10 years uncovering the cultural and
technical attributes to help development teams work
effectively and drive innovation. He has 20 years
experience in writing code, leading teams, and
sharing his experience with thousands of developers
at uncountable conferences in 25+ countries.
42. I will talk about why burnout culture takes away from
inclusion and how to identifying burnout within yourself
and your teams.
43. The tech community puts a warped badge of honor
around burnout. It’s often seen as an indicator of success
and working hard when it’s actually harming the growth of
our developer communities and teams.
By helping to recognize the signs in yourself and others,
we can solve one of the least talked about and most
dangerous problems in tech -- and hopefully save some
lives.
