Submit Session Proposal

Drupal Camp Asheville 2020 - July 10th-12th at Wilma M. Sherrill Center & Kimmel Arena

Submission Information

This year we're doing two rounds of session selections. We hope this will encourage more people to propose their sessions earlier in the year, giving us more time to promote the camp's content!

Session selection schedule:

  • March 23rd - Deadline for early session proposals
  • March 30th - First round of sessions are selected and posted to the camp schedule
  • April 27th - Deadline for all session proposals
  • May 4th - All sessions are selected and posted to the camp schedule

Selected speakers will receive a code to redeem a free general admission ticket to camp.

By submitting a session to Drupalcamp Asheville, you agree to the following:

  • That you will follow the Code of Conduct.
  • If selected you will attend the camp (July 11, 2020) and present your session.
  • If you need to cancel your attendance and/or presentation, you will notify the camp organizers as soon as possible so that they can arrange for a substitution.
  • That your presentation may be recorded and made available online.
  • That you will not include any proprietary material in your session that you do not have the legal right to include.

When submitting your session, let us know the following:

  • Who is your ideal audience member, the person who would get the most out of your session?
  • What do you expect people to be able to take away from your session?
  • How much and what kind of technical knowledge do people need going in to your session?

Speaker Information

  • You will have 45 minutes for your session. You may include a Q&A session as part of that, but we ask that you have at least 30 minutes worth of material prepared.
  • After your session, head over to the Q&A Bar to continue the conversation and answer additional questions.
  • Speakers should plan to arrive in their room at least 10 minutes beforehand to set up.
  • You should bring:
    • Your laptop and power adaptor (and a converter if needed)
    • Your presentation/slides (locally on your laptop - our wifi is good, but just in case...)
    • A cable to connect your laptop via HDMI (we expect to have these, but it is good to be prepared)

If this session is selected we will be posting and talking about it on various social media sites. Please provide some example posts to help us better articulate the value of the session to potential attendees.

If you have presented this session another time, please provide some details about when and where you have presented this session. If there is a recording available online, we'd love to see a link to it!

Having presented this session previously doesn not disqualify the session at all. It is just helpful to know when building a balanced schedule.

About You
I am a...
If you are representing a company with this session, please provide that company name (autocomplete).
Please provide a description of the speaker or speakers (if more than one) as you would like for it to appear on the website if this session is selected. If there is more than one speaker/presenter, please provide their Company, Twitter, and Drupal.org information here if applicable.

If you've spoken at other camps or cons, please list a few here and provide links if possible. This will help us better know what to expect from your presentation.

If you have not spoken publicly before at a camp or conference, that is no problem at all. We are looking for speakers across the full spectrum of experience. Drupal Camp Asheville is a great place to try your first or fiftieth presentation!

Is your attendance to the camp dependent on acceptance of this training?
