Introduction
NumFOCUS encourages community members to present at its events. Presenting at a NumFOCUS event is an excellent opportunity to engage with the community, share insights about your project, and learn from others. Each conference offers a variety of presentation formats, including talks, tutorials, workshops, lightning talks, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, and sprints. By participating, you contribute to collaboration and knowledge exchange within the open-source and scientific computing communities.

FAQ
Q: Will my proposal automatically be accepted if my project is sponsored or affiliated with NumFOCUS?
A: Although preference is given to NumFOCUS projects, conference organizing committees strived to select proposals in an unbiased way and based their decisions on what conference attendees would most like to see.
Q: Can I get help with travel costs if my proposal is accepted?
A: As a speaker, you will not have to pay for a ticket to attend the conference; however, travel costs are not typically covered. Some events offer financial assistance for underrepresented groups or other programs that can help. You should inquire with event organizers for more information.
