I watch a lot of talks in YouTube. I have always wondered how those people get invited to talk in conferences. I would often ask what makes one eligible to be a speaker. Is it networking? Is it reputation? Is it out of the speaker's own initiative to ask the event organizer?
With that said, how were you able to secure a slot in the conference's lineup of talks? I'm really curious of how people like you get to talk in a conference. I find it really cool.
Software engineer, developer advocate, technical content creator. Believes coding can and should be fun and that teams work best when they are inclusive.
Most conferences select speakers from a few different methods. Yes, some speakers are invited, especially people who give keynotes. How many are invited can vary a lot depending on the conference budget, whether it is a conference run by a company or if it is a conference run by a community, etc.
Conferences also tend to do a call for proposals/call for speakers where you can submit ideas. This i s how most speakers find their events. This is a pretty good list of resources: be.noti.st/2018/how-to-find-your-n...
If you are interested, you should submit to a cfp. Organizers love finding new speakers! It is good to get new voices and fresh ideas.
