CfP Closes Soon
Welcome to 2020. We hope that it’s been kind to you so far.
Plans for this years Future Sync conference are coming together nicely. Half of our initial speaker lineup has been announced (with a few more on the way soon), we’ve tested the upgraded lunch menu (it’s really tasty) and swag samples are starting to trickle through (we’re going for eco options where possible this year).
The CfP is currently open until the 31st January. We’re looking to put forward a diverse range of speakers with talks in the realms of Software Development, Creative Design and Business Innovation. We’re particularly keen to hear about:
- Innovative uses of creative technology.
- How digital technology is shaping your business in the next decade.
- The coming tech trends we should all be looking at.
- Video game design / development insights.
- Cyber security in a business context.
Sessions on any topic which fall under the three track themes are welcome, these are just some ideas. Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or first time talker, it would be awesome to get a proposal from you. The Future Sync audience are a friendly bunch and are sure to greet you with open arms. Need some inspiration? Take a peek at our YouTube channel to view the talks from the previous events.

Think Globally, Act Locally on the Web
While about 51% of the world’s websites are in English, only about 25% of web users are English speakers. With half of the world’s population online, internationalisation is as relevant as ever!
Let’s explore how i18n gets made on the web and what we should keep in mind or avoid when making the web more accessible to the world.

Design from the dimension of open-source
Getting into open-source can be intimidating as a designer. It’s not something that you can just wake up in the morning and start doing if you’ve never been a designer before. From a high level, let’s ‘design’ our first open-source project, complete with quick methodologies, tips, tricks, and some extra bits.
This talk was crafted with the aim of lowering some of the barriers for designers to contribute to open-source, how designers can actually contribute to open-source ‘live-designing’ and providing some direction and resources to help people get started with contributing to design from a realm of open-source.
Natalia Waniczek — Elixel
Technology’s impact on climate change. How to be grateful during the climate emergency?
Let’s talk climate change and how technology is escalating it.
The Great Barrier Reef, Mount Everest, baby kangaroos, clumsy pandas… We have so much to be grateful for. The world around us is magnificent and power is in our hands to make sure that future generations will have as much, if not more, to be grateful for.
Unfortunately, the tech sector produces about 830 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, which is about 2% of the global CO2 emissions, the same amount as aviation. According to the UN we only have 11 years left to prevent irreversible damage from climate change.
You will walk out of this talk having learned what the current state of tech’s impact on climate change is, and steps we can take to prevent this from escalating and reduce the carbon footprint.
