英語で募集しておりますが、日本語での登録はもちろん可能です。

Selection Criteria

Proposals will be reviewed based on the selection criteria below.

1. Relevance: The talk is relevant to the Go community. GoCon is not a general software conference, our audience wants to hear about topics that relate to the Go programming language.
2. Clarity: You’ve clearly explained what you are going to talk about.
3. Correctness: You’ve demonstrated knowledge of your topic. You don’t have to be an expert, but you are expected to be speaking from experience.
4. Achievability: You’ve thought about how to present your material in the time available. Impact. The goal of the talk. What new idea, technique, tool, or information will the audience leave your presentation with? Note: This clear selection criterion is based on GopherCon’s one. Thank you.
