Get your ticket for the conference¶

The Portland conference will be held online on May 22-24, 2022. The full event website is live and already includes some preliminary details. We’ll be updating it with more information as we get closer to the event.

If you’re excited too, go ahead and register for your ticket now! We are still planning to limit capacity of the event to ensure that we have a good experience for everyone, but normally that happens 1-2 weeks before the conference date.

Similar to last year’s virtual conference, we’re going to keep as much of the spirit of the event as possible:

• Excellent single track of pre-recorded presentations with moderated Q&A of speakers
• Writing Day
• Unconference sessions
• Job Fair
• Sponsor booths
• A virtual hallway track
• A social event, but you’ll need to bring your own beverage and snacks :)

We plan the event to ensure lots of interaction, which is the main reason we’re all gathered together, and we think it will be another great year of helping our community connect.

Submit your talk by February 25, 2022¶

Following the decision to keep the conference virtual, we are extending the Call for Proposals to give folks more time to prepare their proposals. Check out the Call for Proposals page for more details about what we are looking for.

If you already have an idea but you’re having a hard time getting your proposal to come together, you can always ask for feedback on the Write the Docs Slack. The community is there to help!

In addition to the online resources, the Write the Docs East Coast Quorum meetup will hold a Conference Proposal Workshop on February 10th in US Eastern time zone. Join your fellow documentarians to discuss potential proposals, brainstorm ideas, and get feedback on your proposal before you submit. Big shout-out to Alyssa Rock and the organizers of this Quorum meetup!

After we review all the talk proposals, and will be contacting everyone who submitted a proposal by March 15, 2022.

Grant program¶

We are continuing our grant program again this year in a similar format. We’re excited to be able to offer free tickets to a larger number of people this year, since there are now minimal other costs to attend the event.

You can apply by March 31, 2022 on our website.

Support our community by sponsoring¶

Every year we are fortunate to have the support of like-minded organizations and communities, who believe in the collaborative and welcoming community spirit and help us make our events great.

We have published our virtual sponsorship prospectus for the conference, and are open for new sponsorship inquiries.

We will still run the job fair, helping documentarians and organizations connect with each other. Check out the sponsorship prospectus for more details and to reserve your spot today.

Looking forward to seeing you all here soon, even though we won’t be in person!
