CiviCamp Birmingham (CiviBRM) is a user-focused event. It’s not about highly technical deep dives - it’s about real experiences.
This week is your last chance to sign up to present a talk at the event on the 9th June - and there are only a few slots left. So, if you’ve been thinking about sharing something, get in touch!
Talks are short and sharp (just 15 minutes) and are a chance to showcase your organisation, highlight a success story, or share something you wish you’d known when you got started.
Not keen on a full-length talk? Our lightning talks are a great way to get involved.
Just 5 minutes, one idea, and a friendly audience - perfect if you want to dip your toe into speaking with no need for a big presentation.
One week to go
The deadline to submit your session idea is 12 May.
You don’t need to be an expert
You don’t need to be an advanced user or a seasoned conference speaker to have something worth sharing. Some of the most valuable sessions come from:
- Lessons learned the hard way
- Small improvements that made a big difference
- Honest reflections on what worked (and what didn’t)
If it would help someone else, it’s worth sharing.
