What we offer

Being a speaker at Berlin Buzzwords is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and experiences with fellow attendees. It is a great way to develop your ideas and get feedback from an engaged audience . Speaking at Berlin Buzzwords helps you gain experience on stage which you can reference as we capture each session on video and publish them on youtube*.

An invitation to speak at Berlin Buzzwords includes a full conference pass with access to conference and barcamp. We also offer free accommodation for 2 nights at a nearby hotel to speakers from outside of Berlin.
