All Things Open 2021 – CFP now open through April 30!

The ATO team is thrilled to announce the 2021 call-for-papers (CFP) is now open through Friday, April 30!

We're seeking submissions from established technologists with many years of experience, technologists and community members that may be new to “open”, and everything in between. In addition, we are proudly seeking talks from traditionally underrepresented groups and organizations. In short, we’re seeking a diverse lineup as we firmly believe it delivers the most value to attendees.

Talk Submission Timeframe / Milestones

  • Tuesday, March 30 - 2021 CFP Opens
  • Friday, April 30 - 2021 CFP Closes
  • Monday, May 3 - Initial communication from the ATO team
  • Monday, May 17 - Status updates and decision related emails will "be in full swing"

In addition, the ATO team will host four (4) Zoom Q&A sessions for anyone considering submitting a talk that might have a question. Plan now to attend one of the following four sessions..

Although 2020 was a challenging year on many levels, the number of talk submissions remained excellent and just over 250 speakers and talks were selected and featured at the event itself. Now that we're "coming back from COVID", we hope to see the number of submissions increase significantly and reflect a growing sense of optimism.
