Welcome to the Chcon 2025 Call for papers.

This is your chance to submit a Training, a Talk, or both!

The theme this year is loosely based on Old school horror movies and our 10 years of Con history. Your talk doesn’t need to relate specifically to the theme.

Training options session options
* 1/2 day (4 hours)
* Full day

Call for Training will close July 1st, selections will be completed by July 8th.

Confirmed training sessions will be announced publicly July 15th when tickets go on sale.

Talks options
25, 45, 60 min options with a preference on 25 min talks so we have a chance to get as many people presenting as possible. Longer talks are amazing too but we normally only select a few of those.

Call for talks will close on Aug 15 and selection status emails will be sent by Aug 31.

When you submit you can choose to have a full priced ticket reserved if the submission is not accepted.
If your talk is not selected the submitter will be provided a code that will allow them to buy a regular priced ticket.
If that ticket is not purchased by 15 Oct 2024 it will be released back for general purchasing.

You can enter proposals until 2025-08-15 23:59 (Pacific/Auckland), 1 month, 1 week from now.
