 This is a community conference and we strive to make it an inclusive and fulfilling event for all participants. All attendees, speakers, and organizers must abide by the [Typelevel Code of Conduct](/conduct.html).

+## Call for Speakers
+
+The Summit will feature both 30 minute and 15 minute-long talks.
+
+We are looking for a variety of things! Possible topic ranges include, but are not limited to:
+
+  - Experience reports:  "How we migrated our code base to shapeless"
+  - Typelevel project updates: "What's new in Typelevel project X"
+  - Your project updates: "What's new in X", where X uses Typelevel heavily
+  - Big picture: "Where is Scala headed for typed FP?"
+  - Non-code issues: "Diversity in the Scala community", "Governance in Typelevel"
+  - Tutorial-style: "Error-handling with cats", "Idiomatic ScalaCheck"
+  - Tooling: "We can now use Ensime in Notepad"
+  - Related work: "How language X does typed FP and what we could learn"
+
+Proposals should be related to the Typelevel family in some way or follow the Typelevel spirit.
+
+**We welcome all sorts of talks!** You don't have to write down a perfect abstract. **Submissions by first-time speakers are especially welcome!**
