API The Docs Virtual is an online event series for everyone who embraces API documentation as a crucial aspect of a great developer experience.

API The Docs switched its format to virtual in April 2020 and the team intends to continue the format in 2021 as well. We’re planning to have 4 LIVE events this spring, starting in April, all focusing on state-of-the-art API documentation. More details will be announced soon.

Until then, we strongly encourage everybody who is working on / with something that would be interesting for the API documentation community to submit it, no matter what stage the project is in.

First time submitting?
API The Docs Virtual events are an excellent way to get to know the API docs community, share your ideas and introduce your work that you are doing. We strongly encourage first-time speakers to submit talks!

Talk selection criteria

  • Relevance - Is the content relevant? Does it provide new and exciting takeaways?
  • Originality - Is this an original presentation and not that the speaker repeats at every conference?
  • Quality - Is the proposal engaging and well thought out?

Please note that API The Docs Virtual is unlikely to accept more than one talk from the same speaker and it definitely rejects sales or marketing pitches.
