GrafanaCON is our largest community conference of the year. We’re looking for speakers to share their real-world experiences with Grafana, custom-built plugins, cool dashboards, and more. This is a community-driven conference focused on your favorite visualization tool, its big tent of data source plugins, and the surrounding open source ecosystem – Prometheus, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Mimir, and more.

Who should apply? We’re looking for open source contributors and hands-on practitioners to share their stories with the wider community. We’re open to a wide range of topics, from beginner to advanced, and speakers from all backgrounds and industries. First-time speakers are welcome! All talks will be given in-person at the event and speakers will receive free entry to the full event, plus access to a speaker gathering.

Types of talks:
* 10 minute lightning talks
* 25 minute use case stories

Suggested topics:
* Interesting use cases for Grafana, from home labs and industrial IoT to space and beyond
* Pro tips and tricks for Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry
* Demos of data source plugins for Grafana
* Developments around the open source ecosystem (Prometheus, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Mimir, etc.)
