And if you prefer video to written instructions — you can also check out our video below, which covers all the same tips! ### What problem does your session address? -As engineers, it’s easy to get carried away about the solutions—after all, they’re the most exciting part! But if you want your proposal to stand out, it’s far more impactful to begin with the problem you aim to solve. Starting with the problem helps you connect with your audience, drawing them in by addressing challenges they may have faced or intriguing them with an unexpected application of Python. +As engineers, it’s easy to get carried away about the solutions — after all, they’re the most exciting part! But if you want your proposal to stand out, it’s far more impactful to begin with the problem you aim to solve. Starting with the problem helps you connect with your audience, drawing them in by addressing challenges they may have faced or intriguing them with an unexpected application of Python. ### Why is this interesting to the Python community? -To make your proposal truly compelling, it’s not enough to just present a problem—you need to sell it. Why is this problem worth your audience's attention? Does it address a widespread challenge in the Python community, like performance optimisation or effective monitoring? Or perhaps it sheds light on a niche, unexpected issue that others would find fascinating. Maybe your idea showcases a creative or delightful application of Python, sparking a sense of fun and wonder. Reflect on what drew you to this idea initially, and strive to convey that excitement to your audience. +To make your proposal truly compelling, it’s not enough to just present a problem — you need to sell it.

Maybe your idea showcases a creative or delightful application of Python, sparking a sense of fun and wonder. Reflect on what drew you to this idea initially, and strive to convey that excitement to your audience. ### What's your perspective on this problem? -Now it’s time to showcase your unique perspective on the problem. What fresh insight or contribution do you bring to the discussion? Maybe you’ve devised an innovative way to use Python to tackle a well-known challenge—or even developed an entire package. Perhaps you’re passionate about breaking down a complex Python concept into something easily understandable. Or maybe you’re issuing a call-to-action to address a pressing issue within the language or community. Whatever your angle, this is your opportunity to highlight your distinctive take. +Now it’s time to showcase your unique perspective on the problem.

Reflect on everything you discovered while developing your idea, and identify a few key takeaways you want to share. By highlighting these insights, you’ll give your audience a clear sense of the value your session offers-and increase not only your chances of getting a session into the conference, but also filling the room! +To wrap up your proposal, clearly articulate what attendees will gain from your session — after all, this is the main reason they’ll choose to attend! Reflect on everything you discovered while developing your idea, and identify a few key takeaways you want to share. By highlighting these insights, you’ll give your audience a clear sense of the value your session offers — and increase not only your chances of getting a session into the conference — but also filling the room! As you can see, strong proposals are built around a clear and compelling narrative. They guide your audience through why you decided to explore a particular problem, how you approached solving it, and what valuable insights they can gain from your work. When thinking about the length of your proposal, try to strike a balance between being concise and including enough detail to get all of the above across.
