DevCAccra Celebrates Global Diversity CFP Day

Events or conferences looking for speakers start a process called "Call for Proposals". This is an invitation for anyone interested in taking part to submit their idea for a talk or workshop. Proposals are an outline of what you'd like to talk about and helps organisers choose talks for their events.


Global Diversity CFP Day is here to help you craft that proposal and reduce any worry you may have when submitting.

 

On this day, DevCAccra will  bring together experienced speakers to mentor newbie speakers on their proposals, speaking advice, and share their enthusiasm to get you to the stage.  This is to  encourage and advise newbie speakers to put together their  very first talk proposal and share their own individual perspective on any subject of interest to people in tech.
