Apply to speak

What we are looking for

Concrete, hands-on, honest. Show the stack, the trade-offs, the thing that broke. We cover no-code, low-code, vibe coding, generative, voice and agentic AI, and the European sovereign stack. Pick the track that fits your work: BUILD LAB (hands-on craft), BUILD @ WORK (teams and enterprise), SOVEREIGN STACK (the European sovereign stack in practice).

Formats you can apply for

• Keynote · 25 or 50 min. One builder, one clear story, on a stage.
• Panel · 25 or 50 min. A moderated conversation, 3 to 4 voices around one question.
• Fireside chat · 25 or 50 min. A focused conversation, two voices and one thread.
• Lab. Hands-on, small room, people leave having built something.
• Live Build · 15 min. A short, live demo on the Builders Village stage. Show, do not tell.

How it works

• Submit. Tell us who you are, what you would talk about, and which format and track fit.
• Review. Our editorial committee reads every submission. We score for substance, fit and clarity, not for follower count.
• Notify. Everyone who applies hears back, accepted or not. If accepted, we send a short logistics brief.

The fine print, said plainly

• Sessions are editorial, never sponsored. A stage slot cannot be bought. Sponsorship and the program are kept separate, on purpose.
• Travel and expenses: whether and to what extent BIS supports speaker travel and accommodation is to be confirmed.
• We will only use your submission to review and, if accepted, to organize your session and announce you.
