    Q: But really what if it’s rejected?

    View Slide

  47. @galuhsahid
    Rejection
    Doesn’t mean your talk sucks
    - Some conferences don’t have enough space to hold 50 awesome talks
    - Sometimes two people submit similar topics with very minor differences
    - Sometimes conferences have a theme they are focusing on and your talk
    doesn’t fit the topic and it’s OK!

  48. @galuhsahid
    Rejection
    Doesn’t mean you have to throw your talk away
    - Give a lightning talk!
    - Speak at meetups!
    - Write a blog post out of it!
