We’re gearing up for the second round of The Lead Developer Austin and we want to hear from you. Lead Developer is all about the community, and we’re looking for a speaker line-up that reflects our community in all its glorious diversity.


We’re expecting a good crowd of lead developers, senior engineers and CTOs to join us in Austin this December, who will be hungry for insightful, practical talks, each lasting around 30 minutes. If you’re passionate about all things Lead Dev and want to share your expertise with the community then we would love to hear from you. The deadline for applications is August 3, 2018.


Submit your proposal

As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we particularly want to hear from people who might usually be underrepresented at tech conferences. We are here to offer support at all stages of the submission process - whether you need help with logistics, accessibility or public speaking.

We've written about what we're looking for in a submission on our blog, so make sure you check that out too.

What’s on offer?

All confirmed speakers receive:

  • A free ticket to the conference (if you’ve already bought your ticket, we’ll refund it)
  • $350 honorarium
  • Two nights' accommodation at the conference hotel
  • Economy travel expenses
  • Up to $100 expenses
  • Professional photos and a video of you up on stage
