We’re so happy to say that, exactly five years after our last flagship conference took place in-person, You Got This will return. This time in Berlin on January 18 2025, we invite you to a full day of core skills talks and networking. When the pandemic happened, we made a conscious decision to root You Got This in content and education, leaving a discussion space for core skills aside. Given topics can be sensitive, we weren’t absolutely confident in our ability to deliver this space safely. Being in-person means you know that everyone present is there because they want to learn and talk about the topics that don’t get covered at other conferences. And it’s great to be bringing that back because it’s been sorely missing. We welcome 25 minute talks on non-technical topics that are important for people working in tech. We welcome first-time and experienced speakers alike, and offer optional talk planning and feedback sessions. We don’t directly cover costs, but pay speakers €600. Please share, reach out if your organization can sponsor, and get those talk submissions in - it closes September 22. https://lnkd.in/dtgh9jGC

What Hugh Forrest is providing here is so important. Having the privilege of being an advisor for SXSW for over a decade, I cannot stress enough how important it is to understand how to represent what you want to present in the PanelPicker. It's a gift you're providing to attendees, make sure you take full advantage of your primary channel to make that gift a reality. Cannot wait for SXSW 2025 and I hope you are all on stage! #sxsw, #sxsw2025, #PanelPicker, #speakingopportunities,
