Call for speakers
The stage is gone. But your voice matters more than ever.
We’re not looking for keynote celebrities.
We’re looking for people with experience, insight, and stories that matter — in real FileMaker projects, real problems, real growth.
Whether you’re a developer, strategist, designer, or curious troublemaker, this is your chance to lead part of the journey.
⚓ What we're looking for...
- Creative technical solutions to complex problems
- Real-life lessons learned (even the painful ones)
- Approaches to AI, automation, integration, performance
- Conversations about ethics, UX, design, data culture
- Challenges that led to growth, not just success
All sessions are short, focused, and interactive.
No slideshows.
Just ports of knowledge.
Wait, did you say "ports"?
YES!
We call our sessions Ports — because they’re not just presentations, they’re places of exploration.
Each Port is a stop along the journey, focused on a specific topic or challenge. As a speaker, you won’t be “on stage”, but rather guiding a small crew through your area of expertise.
Think of it as a dynamic exchange — more than a monologue, less than a workshop.
Your Port is where knowledge is docked, unpacked, and shared.
Sessions may be offered more than once during the event and shaped by the energy, curiosity, and interaction of the participants.
We’ll help you design a format that fits you and the flow of the expedition.
We’ll work with you to adapt the experience, not just deliver it.
🎙️ What do you get as a speaker?
You won’t receive a fee — and that’s intentional.
We ask everyone, including speakers, to contribute as participants.
Why?
Because we believe the value of this event is in shared purpose, not paid performance.
We want people on board who believe in the experience, not the spotlight.
And by keeping costs low, we make it possible for more explorers to join the journey.
🎁 As a thank-you, speakers will receive:
- A special badge marking them as part of the expedition’s core crew
- A speaker-exclusive gift, crafted to match the theme of the journey
- Recognition during the opening plenary as one of the voices that shaped the route
- A dedicated page with your photo and bio on the official website
- A special “speaker” price for you and your colleagues or guests.
🍽️ Speaker Welcome Dinner
As a speaker, you’re officially part of the expedition’s core crew.
To celebrate that, we’ll invite you to an exclusive welcome dinner the evening before the event begins.
Good food, great company, and the calm before the storm.
A chance to meet the other speakers, get to know the captains, and enjoy Naples together — before we set sail.
