Hello there!
We here at DockerNYC are glad to hear that you are interested in giving a talk at the DockerNYC Meetup. Our meetup is a great place to reach technology enthusiasts who are using containers, leveraging orchestration and scheduling, and considering security, audit and compliance in their workloads.
Here's a description of the sort of talks we're looking for from an organizer's perspective:
-
The talk is hands-on, and demonstrates working functionality in the container ecosystem. A good rule of thumb is that the talk be around 50% demo, and 50% talking / discussion / etc.
-
The speaker is educating the group, as we'd like our members to learn about Docker at every event. Further discussion and education on supporting container ecosystem tools, modern application architecture, and engineering culture and practice is also very welcome.
-
The speaker has a unique perspective on the subject, and is able to share that value with the group.
From a logistics standpoint, speakers are also welcome to speak about their company and platform, but we prefer that it play a supporting role in the talk. Sponsorship is an option, as food / drink can drive greater numbers to our events. If we have 2 sponsors, the cost is generally around $400 per sponsor. For your sponsorship, you'll be featured in social media promotion by our volunteers and Docker Inc, and recieve special thanks at the event.
For newer companies, where we have less personal experience, we ask that you submit a short outline two weeks ahead of the event
Let me know if you have any questions!

The DockerNYC Meetup team docker_nyc@googlegroups.com
