DASH 2025 Call for Proposals
DASH 2025 will be held June 10–11 in New York City, and we want to hear your stories of speed, reliability, scalability, and security. We’ll bring together thousands of the world’s top developers, systems engineers, and business leaders to share how they’re building new, innovative solutions and empowering technical teams to do their best work.
If you have a success story or a cautionary tale of missteps and lessons learned, this is your opportunity to share it! DASH presentations will be live and in person. Each session will be 40 minutes in total length. We recommend that each session is 30 minutes of presentation, allowing for 10 minutes of questions from the audience. The CFP is open through March 4, 2025. To help guide submissions, we have listed the conference themes below.
Themes
Performance and Efficiency
There are many ways to improve application performance, but they can often lead to increased system complexity and costs. Tell us your story of optimizing performance and delivering better user experiences without breaking the bank.
Scaling Systems
Modern systems and the data they produce have grown exponentially. Tell us your story of how you've scaled your systems to meet business demands and how you manage the growth.
Security and Compliance
With cyberattacks a constant concern and new threats appearing daily, security has become everyone’s responsibility. Share your experiences and advice for baking security into every stage of the software development lifecycle.
Empowered Teams
Producing performant and scalable software is only possible by building high performing, scalable teams. We want to hear about your processes and practices to successfully enable teams to do their best work.
Technical and Organizational Transformation
Most real-world systems aren't static. As we encounter new challenges, we have to adapt our approach and our technologies to solve them. Share your firsthand experience of technical and organizational evolutions and revolutions so that others can follow your success (or avoid your mistakes).
Thoughtful AI
AI has gone mainstream, and more companies are integrating AI into their products. But AI still carries some risks. Tell us how you’ve successfully harnessed the power of AI in your organization while delivering good, reliable, and safe customer experiences.
