<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">To get a feel for what we are interested in hearing about, you might want to look at other NodeConf
chapters around the world (
<a href="http://london.nodeconf.com/#speakers" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="link dim green">London</a>,
<a href="http://oslo.nodeconf.com/#speakers" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="link dim green">Oslo</a>,
<a href="http://barcelona.nodeconf.com/#speakers" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="link dim green">Barcelona</a>).</p>
<p class="pb1">We like to see anything that squarely fits into the spectrum of:</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>Cutting-edge technological advances in the world of JavaScript or computer science in
general, if somehow applicable to Node.js.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>We love hearing about the ingenious ideas & cool hacks you’re working on.</p>
</div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>JavaScript-related art installations or hacks.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>Hardware-related applications of JavaScript.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>Node.js community, history, past, present & future.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>And finally: Whatever the hell you want; this is your conference.</p>
</div>
<h4 class="f4 ph2 pb2 pt4 bb b--navy mb3 db ttu cb">We Can Help</h4>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">Not everybody is a natural talent on stage. Not everybody can produce kick-ass slide-decks. Not everybody
is a live-demo-god. Not everybody knows they have something great to talk about.</p>
<p class="pb1">There are about a million reasons why you don’t consider yourself a speaker, let alone at NodeConf
Argentina, part of an established brand where all your heroes have spoken in the past.
<strong>We are here to prove you wrong.</strong> If all you have is a gut feeling that you should be
on stage, we are here to reach out and help you to develop or hone the skills you think you lack
to deliver a great presentation.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>We are happy to brainstorm your interests to see if a great topic is hiding.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>We are happy to connect you with experienced speakers to help prepare your submission,
or you can refer to the “Example Submission” section below for tips.</p>
</div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>We are happy to review and advise on how to produce a slide deck. If you don’t feel creative,
just use these JSConf
<a href="https://github.com/jsconf/presentation-templates/downloads" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="link dim green">Keynote and PowerPoint templates.</a>
</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>If you need practice giving talks, get in touch, we can hook you up with local meetup
groups or set up a stage for you and a bunch of friends in advance, so you can practice in front
of a friendly crowd.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>Again, whatever else you might need, we’re here to help.</p>
<p>Get in touch:
<a href="mailto:cfp@nodeconfar.com" class="link dim green">cfp@nodeconfar.com </a>(just don’t use this to submit a proposal).</p>
<p>If you need more encouragement, check out the
<a href="http://weareallaweso.me/" class="link dim green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We Are All Awesome</a> site that tries to convince you to speak!</p>
</div>
<h4 class="f4 ph2 pb2 pt4 bb b--navy mb3 db ttu cb">The Perks</h4>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">If you get selected as a speaker at NodeConf Argentina, here’s what you get:</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>
<strong>Travel to Buenos Aires covered.</strong> This usually means we pay for your plane ticket, boat,
raft, hyperloop pod, or space pod. We are happy to assist with booking your itinerary.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>
<strong>Entrance to the conference.</strong> We won’t be done with the speaker selections by the end
of the ticket sales, so if you want to make sure you can attend, you may want to purchase a ticket
regardless. If you get selected to speak and you bought a ticket we will send you a refund.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>
<strong>We cover your stay in Buenos Aires</strong> in a fancy hotel near the venue (including free Wifi)
for the days of the conference and a day before and after (e.g. October 18th-20th). If you want
to stay longer, we can arrange things, just let us know. You will have to cover extra nights,
though.</p>
</div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">If your employer can cover your travel and hotel, we are happy to list them as an awesome company
sponsor. </p>
<p class="pb1">If you have any special requirements, non-return trips (say you are going to awesome Patagonia for
wine tasting, asado and whale sighting), just let us know, we can usually work these things out.)</p>
<p class="pb1">If you want to bring a significant other, or bring your kid(s) and need child-care to be sorted out
for the time of the conference, please also get in touch. We are here to make this easy for you!</p>
</div>
<h4 class="f4 ph2 pb2 pt4 bb b--navy mb3 db ttu cb">The Selection Process</h4>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">Here’s roughly how we pick our talks:</p>
<p class="pb1">Anonymize submissions, so we don’t bias against anything related to the submitter.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>Two rounds of voting:<br>
- The first round rates each talk on a scale from 1 to 10.<br>
- The top-N (~50) submissions are rated again on a 3-point scale (“meh”, “yay”, “MUST HAVE”).<br>
</p></div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">
<span class="green ph1">•</span>De-anonymize so we can (finally) bias against speaker details (based on our budget, we
might opt for a local or at least closer-by [read: cheaper to transport] speaker). (and a number
of details that we make up as we go along)</p>
<p class="pb1"> We expect 100-200 excellent submissions for 20-30 speaking slots. The process helps us select the
right ones.</p>
</div>
<h4 class="f4 ph2 pb2 pt4 bb b--navy mb3 db ttu cb">Example Submission</h4>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">Here’s an example conference talk proposal from JSConf EU 2011:</p>
<p class="pb1">
<strong>How To Be Better</strong>
</p>
<p class="pb1">You’re read the Definitive Guide and flicked through the standard, you know how to assign default
values with OR and you go to your local usergroup once in a while.</p>
<p class="pb1">How do you move your JS skills along and upwards on the unstoppable path of true mastery? Do you
want to be one of those folks who dismisses </p>
</div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">wtfjs.com with a sniff, a wave of the hand and an offhand comment of “call recasts the parameter
as an object”?</p>
<p class="pb1">From the blindingly obvious (write more javascript) - through the positively heretical (never ever
use JSLint - except when it’s a really good idea) - to the bizarre (take up needlework), come
and be guided toward the bright shiny light where the gods live.</p>
</div>
<h4 class="f4 ph2 pb2 pt4 bb b--navy mb3 db ttu cb">Guidelines</h4>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">Submit your proposal by
<strong>June 24th, 23:59:59 ART (GMT -3).</strong> No excuses.</p>
<p class="pb1">Talks can be
<strong>in English or Spanish.</strong> Don’t feel pressured to deliver your talk in english if you’re
more comfortable speaking in spanish - and vice-versa! Live interpreting services will be available
to attendees.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<strong>Talks are typically 25 minutes long</strong> (for longer talks we’d get in touch with you directly).
There is no Q&A. We will be on a tight schedule and enforce the end of a talk rigorously. We
suggest timing your presentation in advance.</p>
<p class="pb1">
<strong>Make sure you care,</strong> and make sure we see you care. Typos, sloppy formatting and all-lowercase
submissions make our reading of your proposal tedious. These things will definitely count against
your proposal.</p>
</div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">
<strong>Don’t overdo it</strong> either. If you need more than two paragraphs to get to the point of
your topic, we need to ask you to slim things down. With the amount of submissions we get, the
quicker you can to make a good impression, the better.</p>
<p class="pb1">“I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time” — Blaise Pascal</p>
<p class="pb1">
<strong>Original Topics.</strong> One of the things we strive to do with NodeConf Argentina is to push
the community forward. We can’t do this if the same people keep talking about the same things
all the time. Thus, we favour original content. If you want to discuss a topic that you have
talked about elsewhere, try to add a twist, or new research, or development, something unique.
Of course, if your talk is plain awesome as-is, go for that :)</p>
</div>
<h4 class="f4 ph2 pb2 pt4 bb b--navy mb3 db ttu cb">Misc</h4>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">All talks will be recorded and published on the internet for free, along with a recording of the
slide deck, live-demo or other on-presenter-screen activity.</p>
<p class="pb1">We do this for the benefit of the larger JS community and those who can’t make it to the conference.
We hope you want to help out, but if you are in any way uncomfortable in any way, let us know
and we will work things out.</p>
</div>
<div class="fl w-100 w-50-ns pv1 ph2">
<p class="pb1">Finally, since you retain full ownership of your slides and recording, we’d like to ask you to make
your materials and recording available under a creative commons (we default to no commercial
reuse) or other open source license.</p>
