## General
### What is DevFest Toulouse?
The DevFest, or "Developers Festival", is a technical conference for developers.
It is aimed at students, professionals or simply curious technophiles.
Throughout the day, renowned speakers will present a variety of topics: around mobile development, the web, data, connected objects, the cloud, DevOps, etc... as well as good development practices.
Pauses are used to engage in dialogue and deepen the topics presented.
Software development is a very broad subject and our selection committee is committed to providing a varied and interesting program.
This day will be an opportunity to meet speakers of international but also national renown, indeed we also aim to make an important place for local speakers.
DevFest is part of an [international event](https://developers.google.com/events/devfest/) and is organised in partnership with Google.
### Organizing communities
DevFest Toulouse is an event organized by the developer communities of Toulouse, and administratively supported by GDG Toulouse (ex TAUG).
You will find the list of communities at the bottom of the main page.
To make all this possible, an over-vitaminated team of volunteers is working behind the scenes.

### How to become a speaker?
The CFP is not yet open.
### Can we submit a talk to several people?
Yes, on the CFP website, if you are not alone during the presentation, fill in the e-mail of the other speakers, they must have previously registered on the CFP with the same address.
For practical reasons, we do not accept topics involving more than three speakers.
### I proposed a conference. Do I have to buy my ticket?
If your subject (conference or lightning talk) has been selected, we offer you your entry to DevFest, so you do not have to buy your ticket in advance.
If you are presenting a multi-party talk, two tickets will be offered per conference, other speakers will have to buy their own seats (in the absence of other accepted conferences.)
In case your subject is not accepted, you will still be able to buy your ticket after the notification, at the early-bird rate.
### Do you cover travel and accommodation costs?
Speakers presenting a full conference (40 minutes) may request reimbursement of their expenses (travel and accommodation) upon presentation of invoices, and up to a maximum of 250€ per conference (and not per speaker).
For lightning talks, travel expenses are not reimbursed.
### What places do you recommend for accommodation?
The Pierre Baudis Congress Centre is located 15 minutes walk from the hyper-centre of Toulouse, or 5 minutes by metro (Compans-Caffarelli stop).
Many hotels and guest rooms are available nearby.
### What is the expected format for slides?
You can present your conference from your own computer, or provide us with the slides in PDF format in advance.
The slides theme is entirely free, and the presentations will then be broadcast on the YouTube channel GDG France, which already hosts the presentations of previous years.
