We are pleased to invite foreign speakers to come and speak at the conference and share their developments and experience with the Russian audience. Every year, up to a quarter of our speakers are the best minds from around the world. We already had representatives from Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Amazon, Microsoft, Percona, Etsy, Booking.com, Twitter, Dropbox, and many other prominent companies.
We are very interested in hot speeches by community representatives, open source project contributors, technology developers, database developers, and developers of any large projects, including non-web projects.
| Visiting Russia You may prepare your speech in either English or Chinese; we will provide simultaneous interpreting for our listeners.
For foreign speakers, we will fully cover the costs of accommodation, airfare, and visa fees. |
Our programmers have taken part in many international open source projects and work as database and web server developers. One of the most striking examples is the web server Nginx, which holds second place in the use of active web sites (after Apache, of course:).
We adhere to the standard rules outlined in the Code of Conduct.
Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.
We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media.
Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

We want to talk with speakers in one language, so we don't expect evangelists who talk about how you company or technology is cool. We expect developers of this technology or architects of your project from whom we can learn a lot. We don't care that you have 20,000 servers, but we would love to know how you deal with them in your operations. We are not interested to know that you have 20 million visitors, but we are very curious as to which architectural solution allows you to withstand such a load.
We even recommend placing engineers (and not just salespeople) at company stands.
By the way, as part of the conference there will be a technological exhibition where many of Russia's service providers, large companies, and technologies will be presented. At various points in time, our exhibitions have hosted the work of Microsoft, Percona, Google, Badoo, Zabbix, and many international companies and communities.
To receive a commercial offer to participate in the exhibition, please write a letter and tell us about your proposition at organization@ontico.ru.
