Attendee Profile

Even though Newcrafts is very much focused on software development, we strive to be open to a broader range of topics.

Our participants are mainly experienced developers who want to go beyond usual development topics. They're not coming to learn about the latest framework but they're looking for food for thought instead. Don't hesitate to challenge them, raise the bar!

We do love to hear people speaking about ethics, diversity, philosophy, sociology & art just to name a few topics represented in earlier editions (vimeo).

Expenses

Speakers who need it (ie: from outside Paris, not covered by their own company) can have their expenses covered. They will be reimbursed after the conference on reception of their receipts.

Also if your company was likely to pay for your travel to Paris, we'd be pleased to consider them as one of our sponsors (logo on every supports and twitter communication).

Code of Conduct

We expect all participants, including speakers, to support our Code of Conduct, the core of which is this: a conference should be a safe and productive environment for everyone.
