Call for presentations for Airflow Summit 2025

Are you interested in speaking at Airflow Summit 2025? Check out the following information:

  • Event date: October 7-9, 2025
  • Format: In-person
  • Location: Seattle, Washington (Hyatt Regency)
  • CFP deadline: March 22 (round 1) & May 31 (round 2)
  • CFP rounds & dates

Rounds and dates

We will organize the CFP in 2 different rounds:

  1. Round 1: From January 29 to March 22 with all submitters informed of results by April 8.
  2. Round 2: From April 15 to May 31 with all submitters informed of results by June 24.

The reason for creating two rounds is to provide early confirmation to those speakers who need a long time in advance to plan their travel (for example in order to request a visa).

On the other hand, we understand that many community members are currently collaborating on the development/launch of Airflow 3 and would find it difficult to submit before April, so that is why we are opening a 2nd CFP round on April-May.

Speakers who submit to round 1 and are not selected, can still resubmit to round 2 and their submission(s) will be reviewed again and compared to other submissions in round 2 for selection.

Topics and session duration

With the exception of lightning talks and workshops, sessions will either be 25 minutes or 45 minutes, and blocks will include time for Q&A. We will feature:

  • Airflow Intro - Basic or overview sessions target to new and potential Airflow users.
  • Airflow 3 - New features in Airflow 3, changes, tips for migrating and other considerations.
  • Roadmap - What is happening with Airflow further down the road and why.
  • Use Cases - Organizations share how they use Airflow
  • Airflow & … - Airflow as a platform - building on top of Airflow (and/or combining with other tools) to make it more powerful
  • Community - How you can contribute to the overall health and strength of the community.
  • Workshops - any content relevant to Airflow (2-3 hours)
