We're currently at about 90 submissions but we can happily deal with more. Particular areas where we are a bit low on submissions are:

- IDEs and editors for CFML
- Analytics (e.g. Data Science, Customers Behaviour)
- Company culture and Agile/Lean approaches (e.g. Working with others, Scrum, Kanban etc)
- Continuous integration and build pipelines
- Crash Reporting and Application Performance Monitoring
- Security (on the server as well as in your application)

That doesn't mean we don't have any submissions for the topic above so far, but more would be great.

We *do* have quite a lot of submissions for JS-related topics. That doesn't mean that if you have a great idea to not submit it. But - there's quite a bit of competition out there for these kind of talks.

Want to submit a talk - how about doing it NOW:
