I received this today, perhaps we can work together to prepare some proposals for speakers at the event:

IN ENGLISH
Hi,
As you may have noticed, we are already working hard on the 7th edition of OpenExpo Europe to be held on June 4, 2020 in Madrid.
Soon (mi-january) we will open the Call For Papers for 2020 edition so do not hesitate to prepare your proposal to have it ready for this moment.
On the other hand I want to thank all the sponsors who have supported us in the past editions and comment that we have opened today the official period for our Call For Sponsors for 2020 edition: If you want to support our event, do not hesitate to facilitate our contact to your marketing and / or human resources department so that your company takes into account in 2020 budgets and can actively participate in OpenExpo Europe 2020.
Our lead architect would be interested in speaking at OpenExpo Europe 2020 if the Mautic Community is participating. We would be pleased to submit a talk @rcheesley if there are any topic(s) we can add some input to. Our area of specialty is Linux infrastructure around deploying/scaling Mautic, for both end user organizations and agencies. When the CFP template is available, please share so we can take a look. Thanks!
Sounds like an interesting idea, what would the panel explore though? I think it would need to have a specific theme or topic to explore rather than just be about Mautic?
Some hot topics at the moment that I’m hearing about include Digital Experience, personalisation (especially with regards to GDPR), how automation can help customer success, sales and marketing all work more closely together, etc. Any thoughts?
We are looking for speakers that want to share their vision of innovative IT technologies through the company in which they work or the use of open source tools through their personal experience in the world of IT. We want them to present how free and open source software has helped them improve their business, or explain how their companies do to face a transformation at many different levels and how open source technologies play such an important role in their evolution.
Reminder to all, there are seven days remaining before the Call for Papers closes! Let’s get some topics proposed relating to Mautic! Pinging @Yosu_Cadilla@autoize@eruizmillan
Building an Open Source Community from the ground up in 2020.
Building awesome digital experiences with Open Source Software.
Converting a monolithic Open Source APP into a SaaS Business.
Sorry, just ideas, I thought that was what you were asking for…
The first one is obviously for you.
Second I could try myself but you can certainly find someone better suited at Acquia.
Third one I could do myself.
Anyway, there’s the voting process, do you think we have time to get enough votes to make it to the final list or is Acquia sponsoring?
I’m in discussions about having space in their community area, as the sponsorships are all far too high for our marketing budget this year.
Given this statement:
[the organisation may] limit the proposal to maximum 2 by company / project / community
we should probably align on what sessions we’ll be sharing from the Mautic community.
I think @autoize your technical architect was up for submitting something about scaling infrastructure which might fit well in ‘Open Source Tech Talks’'? Would that be in English or Spanish? I presume that would be with the Autoize hat on, although you’d be mentioning Mautic.
@Yosu_Cadilla I think something about building a business around an Open Source product would fit well in Global vision of Open Source’ maybe? In Spanish I presume?
I could propose a talk on how data can support building, nurturing and scaling open source communities, focusing on our Community Health dashboard (built with Grimoirelab which is Open Source). I think that would fit in the ‘Global vision of Open Source’ category.
In terms of voting, I’m sure we can get some community support to boost our numbers
We are limiting business travel right now out of caution, and since the primary language of the conference is Spanish, a presentation in English would likely have more impact in a different venue. Therefore we will be passing on this CFP. Good luck and all the best to any community members who decide to submit.
