Dear people of Julia

Note that workshops and minisymposia both will take place ahead of the main conference.

This year for the first time JuliaCon will be multilingual. If you wish to propose a session in your non-English native tongue go right ahead! More details on the CfP, which is also available in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese or Portuguese :smile:. Thanks to all the volunteers for translations!

Please continue to the following site to make your submission: JuliaCon 2022 (Times are UTC) :: pretalx

Looking forward to JuliaCon 2022!

I would just add that it would be nice if we could incorporate the suggestions shared last year on Slack about the types of talks and presentations that are “ideal”. (cc: @logankilpatrick)

Last year we had a bunch of technical talks without any Julia code, prepared without a general audience in mind, etc. Can we somehow make it more explicit for authors that we would like to see Julia code and basic examples instead of super advanced topics in Beamer slides that only the author can comprehend?

On the same line of thought, can we enforce some platform of presentation such as Pluto or Jupyter so that authors prepare their presentations with actual code and share as GitHub repos?

I know some presentations can’t be run live because of their expensive simulations on parallel machines, but these types of presentations could be accepted upon special requests to the review board?
