2026 CFP Timeline
Tips for Getting Your Talk Accepted
Start with a Problem
The best talks solve real problems. Share a challenge you faced and how you solved it. Audiences connect with 'I had this problem too' moments.
Be Specific
Avoid generic topics like 'Introduction to React Native'. Instead, try 'How We Reduced Our App Bundle Size by 60%' — specific, measurable, interesting.
Show, Don't Tell
Include code examples, demos, or case studies. Conference organizers love proposals that promise live coding or real-world examples.
Know Your Audience
Research the conference. App.js is Expo-focused, Chain React is community-driven. Tailor your proposal to fit the conference's vibe.
Submit Early
Most CFPs have hundreds of submissions. Earlier submissions often get more attention. Don't wait until the last day.
Include Your Background
Why are you the right person to give this talk? Include relevant experience, previous talks, or projects that establish credibility.
