Speak at our events
Apply to speak on a Data Phoenix show or at one of our events. Speakers are chosen on technical merit, not job title.
Our shows and events feature people doing real work in AI and data — talking about what they built, what they measured, and what they'd do differently. If that's you, pitch a talk.
Who we book
Engineers, researchers, founders, and operators. We choose speakers on the strength of the idea and the evidence behind it, not on title or company size. A senior IC with a sharp, specific talk will beat a VP with a roadmap slide every time.
What makes a good talk
- Built, not planned. Something you've actually shipped, run, or measured.
- A clear takeaway. The audience should leave able to do something they couldn't before.
- Honest about trade-offs. The parts that didn't work are usually the most useful.
- No sales pitch. Mention your product if it's relevant, but the talk has to stand on its own.
Formats
We run several show formats — short demos, longer technical talks, research presentations, and interviews. Tell us roughly what you have and we'll help find the right slot and length.
How to apply
Send the talk title, two or three sentences on the core idea, and a line on why you're the person to give it. If you have a recording of a past talk, include it — it helps, but it's not required. We aim to get back to every serious pitch.
