- Coherence and clarity of proposal
- Relevance of the topic to JavaScript and the JavaScript community
- Novelty and originality of the topic
- Deliverable in given time
The top proposals are then de-anonymized for the committee to finalize the list of speakers. The committee will take speaker details into account in order to ensure a diverse lineup of speakers and to consider travel expenses depending on our finances.
How to write a proposal

- Keep our selection criteria in mind.
- Try to show us your passion!
Workshops
- Please clearly describe what the audience will take away from your workshop.
