Practical value
The strongest proposals teach a concrete lesson, process, failure pattern, or decision framework that a game team can use.
South Asia in focus
Regional context matters. Proposals can be local, regional, or global, but they should respect the realities of Sri Lankan builders.
Demonstrated examples
Demos, prototypes, pipelines, examples, and before-after breakdowns are valued because they make lessons easier to apply.
Professional quality
Speaker content should feel credible to students and studios while also being professional enough for partners and sponsors.
Speaker FAQ
Speakers
What speaker proposals are most useful?
Practical talks, founder stories, live demos, pipeline breakdowns, workshops, panels, and regional market lessons are the best fit. Proposals should explain the audience, format, and concrete value for game builders.
Do speakers need to be from Sri Lanka?
No. Sri Lankan and South Asian voices are central to the platform, but regional and international contributors are welcome when their topic is useful, respectful, and relevant to the local ecosystem.
Can a company submit a speaker?
Yes. Company-backed proposals are welcome when they teach something meaningful rather than acting as a sales pitch. Product demos are best routed through the exhibit or sponsor conversation.
What should a speaker email include?
Include the proposed title, format, target audience, short outline, speaker bio, relevant links, and why the topic matters for Sri Lankan or South Asian game builders.
