Classrooms are back
This year, we're excited to bring back Classrooms — a beloved format designed for deeper learning and hands-on exploration. These 75-minute sessions, limited to just 30 participants, will offer a great opportunity to engage directly with industry professionals in a more focused, interactive environment, encouraging meaningful exchanges.
And, just as they’ve always been, they’re completely free!
Call for Proposals
The Call for Proposals is your opportunity to join us on stage at the Swift Connection conference and share your research and ideas in front of our audience.
The CfP opens May 22 and closes June 22, 2025.
First-time speaker? Check our Speaker Inclusion Programme below!
Speaker Inclusion Programme
We know, presenting a technical talk to a large audience can be a daunting experience, particularly for speakers who are members of minority groups or come from diverse backgrounds.
To support these speakers, aside to the traditional CfP, we are launching the Swift Connection Speaker Inclusion Programme: selected participants will be granted a speaking slot and access to workshops, personalized materials, as well as a dedicated Slack channel.
Applicants must identify with a minority or diverse group and no prior conference speaking experience. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with a maximum of two submissions selected by review committees.
