## Call for Proposals: Share Your Ideas

The organizers are eager to hear from the Godot community and are soon launching a Call for Proposals. This is your chance to propose a talk, workshop, or any other activity you think would be a great addition to the event. As the largest Godot event to date, the organizers want to ensure that everyone can participate in some way.

Can't attend the event in person? Don't worry! The organizers plan to record the talks and workshops and make them available online. They'll also try to stream the event live, but they can't make any promises yet.

## The Venue: Microsoft Germany

A dedicated team of Munich locals has been working hard to bring this event to life. They have secured a fantastic venue: Microsoft Germany. Located at Walter-Gropius-Str. 5, 80807 München, Germany, Microsoft's generous offer of their space allows GodotCon 2023 to become a reality.

## Tickets: Limited Availability

Tickets for the event will be available soon, but keep in mind that they'll be limited. To stay informed about the ticket sale and receive any future communication regarding the conference, make sure to subscribe to the event's mailing list.

## Event Highlights

### Call for Speakers & Workshops

The organizers are looking for a diverse range of presentations and are inviting interested parties to propose talks or workshops. If you have a project or experience that would be of interest to Godot users, submit your proposal through the dedicated platform.

There will be two tracks available:

1. Main track
2. Workshops

Please note that due to the number of proposals and available slots, some proposals may be rejected. If your proposal isn't accepted, don't feel discouraged—you can always try again next year.

#### Main Track

The main track is open to talks on various topics. Presentations can be directly related to Godot or relevant to game or engine developers. The main track will run for the entire duration of the event, and talks can be either 30 or 60 minutes long (including 5-10 minutes for Q&A). If you require a different duration, you can specify your needs in your proposal.

Some examples from last year's online GodotCon event include:

- WebXR in Godot
- (Almost) A Year of Fam Jams
- Teaching Godot Engine: Learning Experience Design
- Wwise Godot Integration: integrating audio middleware into Godot
- The Garden Path
- The new rendering of Godot 4.0
- Extending the 2D Renderer: Adding 3D-Like Shadowing

#### Workshops

This year, there will be a dedicated room for workshops on both mornings of the event. Depending on the duration, two to four workshop slots will be available. Ideally, workshops should last between one and two hours. However, if your proposal requires more time, please indicate the required duration and explain why.
