What do you want to see at Rootconf 2018? Let us know!

This week we’re reaching out to get your voice — on our stage, in our writing, and your vote on talk proposals.

We’ve received an amazing response for our call for proposals. But we want your help in shortlisting the talks you’d like to hear at Rootconf 2018. So go vote on the talks here and leave your comments for the speakers: https://rootconf.talkfunnel.com/2018/

We’d love to see proposals on the following topics:

• Infrastructure security
• Databases
• Machine learning and data science in cloud
• Site reliability
• Building failure resilient systems

If you have ideas on talks on the above topics, do propose for Rootconf 2018. If you have any questions or just want a sounding board for your ideas, write to us and we’d be happy to help. You can also propose a topic for someone else to speak on, so if you have a great talk idea, propose a talk anyway.

Any topics that you’d like to hear about or companies, individuals you want to hear from at Rootconf? Drop us an email and we’ll try to make that happen.

You can reach us at rootconf.editorial@hasgeek.com

Want to build a smooth CMS underlying your website to handle content updates, that too without requiring a large developer team?

Powered by CMS will answer this question.

Talks on how to:

• Plan and prioritise your content goals,
• Increase the longevity of your website,
• Create API-only CMSes and avoid having a dedicated HTML-CSS expert manage your website,

will help you deal with the pain points of your websites and achieve business goals more efficiently.

Venue: MCCIA Trade Tower, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune (moved from Westin Hotel).
