Call for Participation

Speak at RoboCon 2027

Call for Proposals — RoboCon 2027

Join us on the RoboCon 2027 stage

For a decade, RoboCon has been where the Robot Framework community comes together — to learn, share, and push the craft forward. This year we're celebrating our 10th anniversary, and we want you to be part of it.

Have you solved a hard problem with Robot Framework? Built something the community needs to know about? Learned something the hard way so others don't have to? This is your stage.

In-person: Helsinki, March 8–12, 2027 · Online: Worldwide, April 7–9, 2027


Why speak at RoboCon 2027?

  • Be part of the 10th anniversary

    — this is the biggest edition yet, and the people in the room are the ones who built and shaped Robot Framework over the past decade

  • Contribute to open source and reach a global audience

    — sharing your knowledge is one of the most direct ways to give back, and your talk will be seen by attendees worldwide and on our YouTube channel long after the conference

  • Teach, not just talk

    — whether it's a workshop, tutorial, or a talk with real takeaways, RoboCon audiences come to learn and put things into practice

  • Speaker package

    — free conference pass, travel support for Helsinki speakers, and a little something to mark the 10th edition

What we're looking for

Topics can be technical or non-technical, introductory or advanced. If it's useful or instructive to the Robot Framework community, we want to hear about it.

This is a Robot Framework conference. Proposals should have a clear connection to Robot Framework — that's the rule, not the exception. Generic testing or automation talks without a meaningful link to Robot Framework or its community are unlikely to make the program.

For the online conference, we are particularly looking for proposals in these focus areas:

  • AI & Automation Intelligence

  • Web UI Testing

  • Libraries & Integrations

  • Core Robot Framework

  • Data & APIs

  • Best Practices from the Community

Don't see an exact fit? Submit anyway.


Formats

  • Talk

    — 20 min + 5 min Q&A — Helsinki and Online (pre-recorded)

  • Lightning Talk

    — 10 min — Helsinki

  • Workshop

    — full day (Helsinki) or up to 3 hours (Online), hands-on

  • Tutorial

    — 60–90 min, practical walkthrough — Online


How we evaluate submissions

All submissions are scored by the RoboCon team. A dedicated program committee then makes the final selection and builds the program. We look for a clear connection to Robot Framework, practical relevance, and real takeaways for the audience.

First-time speaker? We actively encourage newcomers to apply. If your proposal is selected, we'll connect you with someone from the team to help you prepare.
