Call for speakers
Web Rebels is back in Oslo on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 May 2027, and we're looking for people to put on stage. The call is open until the end of September.
Submit a talk
What we're looking for
Web Rebels is a JavaScript and web conference. One track, two days, 16 talks. We like new ideas, strange experiments and anything that pushes on what the language, the browser or the community can do.
Some of the things we'd love to hear about:
- Browser-side JavaScript, server-side JavaScript and edge computing
- Browser APIs and TC39
- Accessibility
- AT Protocol and the atmosphere
- Local-first software
- The future of the JavaScript language and the web
- Web security
- Performance and optimization
- The web platform renaissance
- Developer experience and tooling
- IoT, hardware and embedded JavaScript
- JavaScript in weird and unexpected places
- Software craft
- Anything WTF
Please, no AI talks. There are enough of those elsewhere.
Who should submit
You, probably. We especially want to hear from people who have never given a conference talk, people who are underrepresented in tech, and people who live in Norway. You don't need a well known name or a big open source project. You need something you know well and want to explain to a room.
First time on stage? Say so in your submission. We'll help you get the talk ready. We've done that for a lot of speakers over the years.
What you get
We cover what it costs you to come:
- Travel to and from Oslo
- The conference hotel, right next to the venue
- Your ticket, the speakers' dinner and all meals during the conference
- A public transport pass for Oslo
If your employer would rather cover your travel, tell us. Whatever we save goes back into the conference.
How it works
You can submit up to two talks. Write a title, a description and a few lines about yourself. The description is what we read most carefully, so spend your time there.
The programme is a mix of talks from this call and speakers we invite. Everyone who submits hears back once the line-up is set. Everyone on stage follows our code of conduct.
