One thing you have done
A product, side project, open-source tool, or attempt you personally moved forward.
Bring what you have done
to the room.
Share a product you built, an approach you refined, or a real example of what you learned from failure.
No need to wait until your story is perfect
We care more about what you have genuinely done and which detours others can avoid because of it.
A method you can break down
Explain the process, trade-offs, and missteps clearly, so listeners can take something useful back with them.
An answer still taking shape
It does not need to be packaged as a success story. Answers still being refined are often more worth discussing together.
A few things to know before sharing.
You do not need every detail worked out. Start with one thing you have genuinely done and are ready to unpack.
Can I apply if this is my first time speaking?
Yes. We care more about whether you can share a real process clearly than about how much stage experience you have.
What topics fit Useful?
Products, design, independent development, creative work, and community practice all fit. Rather than abstract viewpoints, we want to hear how you did it, what trade-offs you made, and where you learned something.
What should I prepare for the application?
Leave your topic, the background of what you personally did, and one thing you hope everyone takes away. A simple outline helps us find the right format together.
What happens after I apply?
If the topic suits an upcoming event, we will contact you to confirm the content, format, and direction for preparation, then make the sharing clearer together.
