Hello @silavapi, I find this event very interesting. I usually go to OpenExpo Europe every year. Regards, Enrique Ruiz ---

That’s great to hear! I’m hoping we can propose some sessions on Mautic and maybe tie in a Mautic Meetup and/or a sprint or something while I’m there! Have you ever spoken at the event before? It would be good to get insights from attendees of the kind of talks you think would be well received! ---

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 @silavapi 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! ---

That sounds great - I think the CFP is due to open ‘soon’, so will keep an eye out and let you know when I hear more! ---

Since there is several people, what about (besides any individual presentations) having a Mautic Panel? Where we all answer questions from people… ---

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? ---

@eruizmillan, Are the talks, presentations, etc. usually in Spanish or English? ---

According to the 2019 programme there were both English and Spanish sessions, so I guess they denote it on the programme. ---

@silavapi, just some ideas: 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. ---

@silavapi In OpenExpo I have not spoken before. If I have given talks at other events, for example [https://www.the-eshow.com/](https://www.the-eshow.com/). Open Expo is an ideal place to present in Spain, the functionalities and use of Mautic. [Next page](https://forum.mautic.org/t/open-expo-europe/12069.md?page=2)
