Sharing your knowledge with the community is one of the most impactful ways to contribute. We are always looking for passionate individuals to present their work, lead a tutorial, or spark a discussion. You don’t need to be a seasoned presenter—our team is here to handle the hosting logistics and support you every step of the way.
Event Formats
You can contribute by speaking or leading a session in one of our established formats:
Workshops
Lead a hands-on session or a deep-dive presentation on a specific neuromorphic tool, technology, or research area.
Student Talks
Present your ongoing research, a recently published paper, or a comprehensive literature review. This is a great platform for students and early-career researchers to gain experience and feedback. For more details, see the Student Talks initiative page .
Hacking Hours
Join a live coding session as a guest to showcase a library, tackle a specific problem, or explore a new concept with the community.
How to Propose Your Talk or Session
Getting started is easy. If you have a topic you’re passionate about, we want to hear from you.
