It’s that time of year, and once again we’re looking for speakers for our 2010 season. Here’s what we’re in search of:
Production
We’re looking for coders and programmers with expertise in the following areas:
- Front-End Designers: XHTML, CSS (frameworks such as 960 Grid System, BluePrint, YUI Grids, etc), JavaScript (libraries such as jQuery, YUI, MooTools, etc)
- Developers & Programmers (Ruby, Rails/Grails, Django, Python, PHP, .NET, etc)
- Rich Media Developers (Flash, Flex, & AIR)
We’re particularly interested in hosting speakers with expertise in HTML5 and CSS3, or those that have used new languages to develop interesting applications and experiences. Developers with experimental or in-beta works are also encouraged to apply.
Creative
If you’re more into the creative side of the digital media space, we’re looking for:
- Visual Designers
- Information Architects/Interaction Designers
We’re interested in hosting speakers with expertise in user-centred design, user experience, interaction design and other aspects of HCI.
Mobile
If you’re developing applications for the iPhone or Android platforms, or have some unique insights into the mobile world to share, we’d like to hear about it! We’re looking for:
- Mobile Application Developers (Objective-C, etc)
- Mobile Marketers
Technology
Outside of the web/creative/mobile space, we’re also looking for people with experience in:
These topics can be presented by way of an Ignite presentation, or if you have a larger presentation already completed, a guest presentation.
I have expertise in one (or another) of these topics, and I’d like to speak.
Great! In addition to our speaker search efforts, we field applications to help us determine our programming at monthly gatherings. If you would like to speak at an upcoming event, please fill out the application form.
Can I recommend someone to speak at your event?
Absolutely. If you know someone who is doing interesting things in the digital media space, let us know. We’re always looking out for people working on interesting projects.
We’ll be keeping this post updated through 2010 as our needs become change, and as new technologies/topic requests come our way.
