Call for Speakers

Our Call for Speakers closed on Aug 24, 2025! Thank you for all the submissions! ❤️

Shift+Enter Summit 2025 is a one‑day, grass‑roots conference that lights up Budapest with the latest around Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure, Fabric, Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot, and the soft‑skills that turn tech into impact.

Hosted right as the city’s Christmas markets bloom, the summit gathers developers, consultants, data pros, business leaders and career‑switchers from Hungary and abroad for practical demos, real‑world stories and friendly networking.

Expect zero product pitches – just pure community knowledge‑sharing in multiple tracks, delivered in English.

Shift+Enter Summit is created to shift perspectives and help attendees enter the world of Microsoft tech – empowering the Central‑European community to turn ideas into real‑world impact with Microsoft cloud technologies. We value practical learning, and open knowledge‑sharing by:

  • Bringing together newcomers and veterans across Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure, Fabric, Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot, and more.
  • Showcasing honest success stories and lessons learned – not sales pitches.
  • Creating a welcoming stage for first-time and seasoned speakers
  • Fostering cross‑border collaboration and lasting friendships within and beyond Hungary.

Help us shape the very first edition! We’re looking for fresh voices and seasoned experts alike to deliver 45‑minute sessions (plus Q&A), 25‑minute lightning talks, or take part in a moderated debate on:

  • Technical Deep‑Dives – architectures, code, and demo‑driven explorations of the Microsoft cloud stack.
  • Business Impact – governance, adoption, ROI case studies, and strategic insights.
  • Personal Journeys & Soft Skills – career pivots, leadership, accessibility, diversity, productivity, public speaking, or anything else, surprise us!

As organizers, we seek to forge a diverse line up of speakers both from Hungary and from abroad – for the latter, it might be a tiny incentive to know, that there will be already the season of the famous Christmas markets in the city! We are looking for all level of sessions in the areas of tech, business, personal stories and soft skills!

Tips to draft a great session title & description:

  • Make sure your description and title is understandable for the Content Team
  • Feel free to use AI to bounce ideas back and forth or to craft your session / session title / session description, but feel free to think as well
  • Think as a participant: that title & description will be the only thing they’ll see before their session. Is it clear enough? Does it cover your session?
  • Please don’t write a novel, make it concise
  • Consider the takeaways / messages you’d like to give your audience
  • The “hot topics” usually get a lot of submissions, we encourage you to think about new ways to deliver your message, bring in interactivity, move away from the demos / presentations (if it’s different than other tech sessions, and you don’t want “give it away” in the Description, use the note for organizers)
  • No sales pitches, please!
