Anna Filina has a post to her site mentioning the opening of the Call for Papers for Confoo Montreal 2017, a yearly multi-disciplinary programming and web related conference in Montreal, Canada.

Want to get your web development ideas in front of a live audience? The call for papers for the ConFoo Montreal 2017 web developer conference is open! If you have a burning desire to hold forth about PHP, Java, Ruby, Python, or any other web development topics, we want to see your proposals. The window is open only from August 21 to September 20, 2016, so hurry. An added benefit: If your proposal is selected and you live outside of the Montreal area, we will cover your travel and hotel.

You’ll have 45 minutes to wow the crowd, with 35 minutes for your topic and 10 minutes for Q&A. We can’t wait to see your proposals. Knock us out!

This year's event (well, the 2017 event) will be held March 8th - 17th. You can find out more about the conference itself from the main website. There's less than a month left now to submit session ideas, so get in there and submit today!

Anna Filina has a quick new post to her site about the upcoming ConFoo conference happening February 25th through March 1st in Montreal, Canada.

If you have never heard of ConFoo, it is one of the most important developer-oriented conferences. The team brings you speakers from around the globe to share their hands-on experience with various web technologies. The best news is: it’s driven by the community and is non for profit!

The call for papers opens on August 27 and is important even if you are not a speaker. You can vote on all the proposals as they come in, telling the team exactly what you wish to learn.

If you're interested in speaking this year, you can sign up for their newsletter and get notifications. If you'd just like to find out more about the event, check out the main conference site. (For a look at last year's event, take a look at its schedule.)

The ConFoo conference has officially announced the opening of Early Bird registrations for their 2012 event (happening in Montreal February 29th through March 2nd).

When? February 29 - March 02, 2012. Where? Hilton Bonaventure Hotel, Montreal downtown. How much? $600 (instead of $800). This rate is valid if you order before January 13, 2012.

You can order your ticket today in a variety of flavors - just a conference pass or conference plus a tutorial - either Advanced PHP, Security (both in French and English versions), Symfony2 or HTML5. Ticket prices range from $700 CAD to $400 CAD, depending on which tutorial is selected (or if it's selected at all).

The organizers for this year's Confoo conference have officially opened the Call for Papers for next year's (2011) event (happening March 9th through the 11th in Montreal).

ConFoo is launching its call for speakers for the 2011 conference. With more than 500 attendees, ConFoo is one of the largest Web development conferences in North America. We are looking for the best speakers, willing to share their experiences and their skills with programmers and managers (marketing and decision makers). The 2011 event will feature many novelties in its organization and presentations.

The conference covers a wide range of technologies and related subjects including Java, Python, PHP, system administration, accessibility, CMSs and frameworks, project management and more. Speakers are allowed to present in either French or English and some expenses will be covered for things like lodging and travel. The deadline for the Call for Papers is November 12th just before midnight Eastern time so be sure and submit those sessions soon!
