CFP is open for ScalaMatsuri 2023!

Any topic that might be of interest to Scala learners and Scala community members are welcome, including beginner tutorials, favorite technique, and case studies. As a reference, take a look at last year's schedule for the accepted talks.

To select the talks, we'll run a survey during the early bird ticket sales on what topics people are interested in attending, and the ScalaMatsuri organizers will curate the talks using the result as a reference.

Each year, talk submissions from diverse speakers from all over the world make ScalaMatsuri a great conference. Please consider submitting your talk.

Results of the survey on the categories of sessions you would like to hear at ScalaMatsuri 2023

In October, we took a survey on the categories of sessions you would like to hear at ScalaMatsuri 2023 ScalaMatsuri 2023. Thank you for your cooperation.

At this time (December 1, 2022), the top categories are as follows

Scala3
Software Design and Architecture
Functional programming in general and sphere theory
Effect System (Cats Effect / Monix / ZIO / eff etc.)

We hope you will find this information useful.

We are also looking for your recommendations for talk sessions!

For the first time, if you have a talk session that has already been presented at a past event that you would like ScalaMatsuri attendees to watch, you can submit it via the CFP Call for Proposals form.

If there are any videos that you think should be shown at ScalaMatsuri, we would like to have the presenter of the video agree to show them at the conference, using the translation function, etc.

I am aware of talk sessions presented overseas. I would like to see them spread in Scala Matsuri as well.
The content is good regardless of the language, even though it is a talk session for a language other than Scala.
There are easy-to-understand videos about the knowledge around licenses.

Please let us know about videos that you think will be useful for the participants in various ways.
