Thanks to everyone who submitted!

We have many places available for speaking. Join our esteemed speakers on stage at CS Forum 11.

If you have something to say about content, we want to hear from you. It doesn't matter if you've never spoken before or if you're a regular on the speaker circuit. Our call for proposals is open to everyone.

What are we going to talk about?

Your talk should cover one of our nine topics:

  • The value of content - analytics, metrics, publishing
  • Content strategy technique camp - processes and tools
  • User experience design and content strategy - the overlap of UX and CS

Presentations are either 20 minutes or 40 minutes. Workshops are a half day, that's 3 hours plus breaks.
