A tech conference by the name of Codemotion is coming to Berlin May 9-11. It is being organised for the first time in Berlin after many successful years in Italy with topics for the Berlin event including web/mobile, game development, Maker and creative coding. The event, which will take place during Berlin Web Week, will be organised into one day of workshops and two days of developer talks and panels, as well as a maker lab for kids, a hard and soft(ware) hackathon, and a radical game workshop for startups interested in evolving their startup idea into its next generation. The Codemotion call for papers is open until Sunday, April 7th, so you still have a little time to get your proposals submitted! All you will need to do is create a login and once you receive an email you can enter in your title and abstract proposal. Codemotion is organised by female-led team Mara Marzocchi and Chiara Russo who are strongly committed to promoting more women in tech. They enthusiastically encourage the Berlin Geekettes community and all women in tech to send in their proposals!

Note from Amélie Anglade, Berlin Geekettes Tech Ambassador:

Please don’t let a 40-minute presentation scare you. If you don’t feel ready, can’t think of anything to present or think the guys will be better than you at this, read Tiffany Conroy’s We Are All Awesome website on that topic and get started with your proposal.
