You are actively engaged in advanced software engineering methods, solve ambitious problem with software and are open to cutting-edge innovation? Attend this conference, meet people that share your goals, and get to know the best software tools and technologies available today. We strive to offer a day full of new experiences and impressions that you can use to immediately improve your daily life as a software developer.
If you share our vision and want to contribute, submit a proposal for a talk or tutorial!

Speaker Grants --------------
BOB has Speaker Grants available to support speakers from groups under-represented in technology. We specifically seek women speakers, speakers of color, and speakers who are not able to attend the conference for financial reasons.
Topics ------
We are looking for talks about best-of-breed software technology, e.g.:
- functional programming - persistent data structures and databases - event-based modelling and architecture - "fancy types" (dependent types, gradual typing, linear types, ...) - formal methods for correctness and robustness - abstractions for concurrency and parallelism - metaprogramming - probabilistic programming - math and programming - controlled side effects - program synthesis - next-generation IDEs - effective abstractions for data analytics - … everything really that isn’t mainstream, but you think should be - … includeing rough ideas worth discussing.
Presenters should provide the audience with information that is practically useful for software developers.
Challenges ----------
Furthermore, we seek contributions on successful approaches for solving hard problems, for example:
- bias in machine-learning systems - digital transformation in difficult settings - accessibiltity - systems with critical reliability requirements - ecologically sustainable software development
We're especially interested in experience reports. Other topics are also relevant, e.g.:
- introductory talks on technical background - overviews of a given field - demos and how-tos
Requirements ------------
We accept proposals for presentations of 45 minutes (40 minutes talk + 5 minutes questions), as well as 90 minute tutorials for beginners. The language of presentation should be either English or German.
Your proposal should include (in your presentation language of choice):
- An abstract of max. 1500 characters. - A short bio/cv - Contact information (including at least email address) - A list of 3-5 concrete ideas of how your work can be applied in a developer's daily life - additional material (websites, blogs, slides, videos of past presentations, …)
