UIKonf is Berlin’s independent conference for serious iOS developers. Taking place from May 17th to 20th 2020 in RADIALSYSTEM V in Berlin it is a great place to meet and connect with experienced developers from all over Europe.
UIKonf features inspiring speakers giving talks on cutting edge topics in iOS development, mobile design and business.
But UIKonf is not only about gathering knowledge. We want to facilitate new connections and friends amongst our great community by providing an inclusive setting where all participants feel safe and welcome. In order to achieve that, we expect all to abide by our Code of Conduct
Ticket prices include VAT (MwSt.), free drinks, lunch on the conference days and the UIKonf party. See our refunds policy if you are not sure about your plans in May.
“We also provide discounted diversity tickets for 99€, aimed to help underrepresented groups in tech. This includes but isn’t limited to: women, people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, disabled people and generally people who are unable to attend without financial assistance. If you think you are eligible for a diversity ticket, simply fill out the application form.”
If you want to support diversity at UIKonf, you can do so when booking your ticket. Simply select the additional “Scholarship Sponsor” package which provides one ticket for our diversity ticket applicants.
UIKonf hosts a diverse selection of inspiring speakers. We select and invite about half of our speakers. The other half is selected by our community through our anonymous call for proposals system. Details coming soon.
As a speaker, your travel expenses will be reimbursed and you will be our guests at our selected Hotel in Berlin. Of course, we will also reimburse you for your ticket if you already have purchased one.
Here is how it works
Propose a presentation through our anonymous CfP. Others will help you refine and focus it by making suggestions. Keep updating your proposal bearing those suggestions in mind.
If your proposal is selected at the end of the voting process, your travel expenses will be reimbursed and you will be our guests at our selected hotel in Berlin. Of course, we will also reimburse your ticket if you already have purchased one. In addition, you can choose to take part in a free 1-on-1 stage & speech training. And of course, you will also have access to all activities UIKonf offers its attendees.
Everything happens anonymously to focus on the content and not on the names. Remember that our Code of Conduct applies to proposals and comments as well, so please be nice.
The Timeline
17 Jan – 9 Feb: Submit your proposal on our CfP page or comment on already submitted proposals. We accept any topic you deem interesting may it be technical, design-focused, about building / running / failing a company or how to get a rocket into space using Swift - Inspire us! For inspiration, you can check out the speakers or videos of 2019.
10 Feb – 16 Feb: Comment on existing proposals to help the authors improve their talks. You can help talks you’d like to see at UIKonf 2020 become even better and maybe get elected for the final eight.
17 Feb – 23 Feb: A committee consisting of previous UIKonf speakers will do a preselection of the talks ahead of voting by the community.
24 Feb – 1 Mar: The voting week: our community and a committee consisting of previous UIKonf speakers will vote on their eight favorite talks. The final eight talks will be determined by equally weighing the votes from the public and the committee. We will inform everyone who participated in the CfP in the week after that and announce the chosen speakers one by one.
Don’t miss the deadline - there are no exceptions for late submissions.
It’s our sponsors who help us provide amazing catering, entertainment and generally make UIKonf an awesome event. If you or your company is interested in helping us and putting the FUN (… / coffee / food/ …) into UIKonf, we are happy to discuss options with you.
