### 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.

|
|
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).

### 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.
