Presentations for HAProxyConf 2022 will be given at the in-person conference and live streamed to our virtual platform on the conference dates. Our team will work with the presenters to help perfect the content of each talk.
Final presentations should be either 40 minutes for a Full Presentation or 15 minutes for a Lightning Talk. After each presentation, there will be a subsequent Q&A session of around 10 minutes.

Do explain why attendees should want to listen to your presentation and
what lessons they will learn by doing so.
Do submit compelling end-user use case and/or HAProxy product/feature

Do include as much detail about your proposed talk as possible. The more
information we have about your topic, the more likely it is to be accepted.
Do abide by all important dates, including the submission deadline and
speaker acceptance dates.
Do keep the abstract concise (200 words or less), but still cover enough
detail for the audience to get a clear understanding of what you will present.

HAProxyConf is to provide exceptional and informative presentations for our attendees.
Your proposal will not be considered if it is a clear attempt to promote your company
and/or non-HAProxy product.
