The abstract should present the planned content of the presentation as precisely and concisely as possible. Therefore, no specific length is required.

The individual presentations, on the other hand, must not exceed 45 minutes – including discussion and space for questions.

Formats

All details regarding the presentation must be submitted as plain text via the designated online form. Presentation slides should be submitted as a PDF shortly before the event.

Our program committee will select the contributions on the basis of their content. We ask for your understanding that, depending on the number and quality of submissions, we may not be able to include all contributions in our program.

Compensation for Contributions

The Java Forum Stuttgart (JFS) is a non-commercial event organized by Java User Group Stuttgart e.V. We regret that we cannot provide any financial compensation for presentations.

Travel Expense Reimbursement

Since JFS is a non-commercial event, we are unable to cover travel expenses (either in full or in part) for speakers.

JFS is a non-commercial event. Therefore, each presentation includes one free full-access attendee ticket for the speaker. Co-speakers must purchase a paid attendee ticket.
