You are here: Home > Submit Session Idea
Agenda	Tips
Please fill in the following short form. At this stage we are gathering potential speakers and sessions. The session suggestions will then be narrowed down to the final agenda by a community vote. Feel free to submit multiple sessions and don't be constrained to Microsoft technologies, if you think the community might be interested in your idea then submit it.	We're not looking for a final session description or biography, just enough to give people an idea of what they could expect. The best place for examples is to look at a previous DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper day agenda. In case it is your first time presenting we have provided some speaking tips. Note: Html tags will be removed, so stick with plain text.

Please note: DDD speaker submission is only open to UK residents

Session Title

Style

Micro-Presentation (6 mins) Micro-presentations are inspired by the runaway success of Pecha Kucha - the "20 slides/20 seconds each" presentation format created in Japan a few years ago. It's an incredibly exhilarating, creative experience for both presenters and the audience. Presentations are auto-timed; presenters are up against their own wits and skill to talk for 20 seconds before before their slide automatically moves to displaying the next!	Grok Talk (10 mins) Grok talks are basically a short presentation on anything you like! Be it a new feature you have found in whatever IDE you use or a new website that has changed your life or a new design technique that you think the world should use.

Presentation (60 mins) Presentations are the normal style of presentation, with the speaker talking on a topic, generally with slides / demos.	Double Presentation (120 mins) Same as presentation but double-length, giving the speaker the chance to deep-dive on a topic or technology.
