What We Look For
Say Something Specific
The best sessions come from people talking about work they actually did, including the parts that did not go to plan.
Specifics over slogans
Talks grounded in something you actually built, funded, shipped, shut down or changed your mind about.
A clear idea
One argument the audience can carry out of the room, not a company overview.
Relevance to this ecosystem
Perspective that helps people building in and from Bangladesh, whether you are local or international.
Honesty about trade-offs
The decisions that were genuinely hard are more useful than the highlight reel.
Tracks

Formats
Choose Your Format
You can propose the format as well as the topic. A workshop or a fireside can land better than a keynote.
Keynotes
Main-stage talks on the ideas shaping technology, business and innovation.
Panels
Moderated conversations pairing local practitioners with international perspective.
Workshops
Practical, smaller-room sessions led by people who have built the thing they are teaching.
Fireside conversations
Longer-form interviews that go past the highlight reel into how decisions were actually made.
