Hear are 10 reasons that you should submit to the CFP. Let's GOOOOOO!

1/ Our CFP is exclusively targeted at first time conference speakers, so you don't need to be a rockstar, you just need to be yourself.

Don't underestimate yourself or what you have to teach others. Everyone who builds software has a story to tell. 🙋🏾‍♀️

2/ We cover the gamut of web and JavaScript development, from mobile friendly design to wiring up Lambdas in the cloud. There's definitely a place for your idea! 💡

3/ Having trouble coming up with a talk idea? No problem, we've got some suggestions 👇🏽

4/ We ♥ our speakers! You are why people come to the conference and we will do everything we can to make sure you're looked after. We will take care of your conference pass, lodging for 3 nights and travel to/from Seattle. Plus other surprises. 🎁

5/ Plus, you'll join a pretty epic alumni group 🤩
