The JuliaCon 2025 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is excited to announce a Proprosal-A-Thon for writing your JuliaCon 2025 proposal! The call for proposals is out right now, and we are looking for both talks and posters for JuliaCon 2025. We will run the event during two days in different time zones. (1) Saturday January 18th at 2PM EST and (2) Sunday January 26th at 4pm CET.
If you are curious about the process of writing and submitting a proposal (you don’t need an idea yet!), we encourage you to attend! The event will start with a 30-minute presentation on the process, followed by an hour of office hours where you can ask individual questions. This event is intended to help community members who are first-time presenters or who see themselves as under-represented across one or more axes such as gender, race, sexuality, education and socioeconomic boundaries. We are excited to co-run this event with support from Julia Gender Inclusive.
Please share with anyone you think might benefit!
The proposal-a-thon will take place on GatherTown, a video calling software complete with a virtual conference room!
