Extending Our Call for Speakers

After deliberating with the program committee we have decided to extend the CFP period by one week.

While we are blown away by the amount and quality of submissions so far, we feel we haven’t done enough yet to reach a diverse audience. We want to represent people with many different backgrounds, and present a program containing a plurality of topics.

We already made some efforts during the past CFP period to reach out to different communities, but there is still more we can do. In conversations we also noticed that we could have been more explicit in saying that not every submission has to be related to Clojure. There are many overarching themes relevant to every community and we want to learn from those outside our beloved Clojure bubble.

As a concrete step we have added an accessibility statement to our site, as we understand this is essential information for some to decide if they should submit. In the coming days we’ll be reaching out to more groups and individuals to encourage them to put in their proposal.

For people who have already submitted this means you will have to wait a little longer before you’ll have news. Please be patient with us. Everyone will get an update in the coming weeks.

Thanks to everyone who submitted already, seeing your excitement and ideas makes all the difference. ❤️
