+
+* *What*: https://www.apachecon.com/[ApacheCon North America 2022]
+* *Where*: Sheraton Hotel, Canal Street, New Orleans

+
+== What kind of talks are needed?
+
+General guidelines for talks are anything related to *developing*, *using*, or *deploying* Apache Cassandra. That covers many areas, so if you are reading this, you probably have something you can talk about. 
+
+* Worked on a feature or a bug-fix? Let's hear about it.
+* Is your application using Cassandra? Tell us how you built it.
+* Upgraded your clusters to 4.x? Share some tips for new admins.
+
+Sharing and helping others is one of the most valuable contributions to the Apache Cassandra community. We can’t say we are a community without it. 
+
+The hardest part of submitting a talk is believing you have something to talk about and the community is here to help. Join us on xref:community.adoc#discussions[the mailing list or ASF Slack], #cassandra-events channel, and feel free to ask about any ideas you have, and we’ll be happy to brainstorm with you to get your CFP submission ready. 
+
+== Need some inspiration?
+
+Here are some talks from previous ApacheCon events. Take a look and get inspired to tell your story. If you have been in the community for years or are brand new, we value every level of experience.
