About the conference
HighLoad++ is a professional conference for developers of high-load systems, an event for everyone involved in the creation of large-scale complex projects.
The main purpose of the event is to share knowledge and experience among leading developers of high performance systems that support millions of concurrent users.
The agenda covers all necessary aspects of web development, such as: large-scale architectures, databases and storage systems, system administration, load testing, project maintenance, etc.
The conference program includes currently trending topics such as IoT, Blockchain, Neural networks and Artificial Intelligence.
Our audience consists mainly of Chief Engineers, Team Leaders, Developers, Department Managers, Technical Managers, System Administrators, Devops Engineers, CTOs, Project/Product Managers, BigData Engineers, CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, Top Managers, Entrepreneurs, Company Founders and others.

How we work with speakers
1
Paper submission
We do not accept sales pitch style presentations. We are looking for people passionate about performance, who are able to speak effectively and from experience and who understand our audience of developers.
The program is designed by the developer community, representatives of large companies from around the world, and by tech developers and community activists. The selection of papers is multi-layered and complex — the Program Committee selects the best papers from the received applications unanimously according to several criteria.

Communication with program committee
A call with a member of the Program Committee may be scheduled if there are questions regarding your paper.
3
Competition and decision making
Program committee makes final decision by the stated deadline. Sometimes we might need more time due to high competition among submitted papers. The decision is primarily based on several criteria - applicability outside of speaker's context, up to date, uniqueness (the paper should not be already presented at previous conferences).
Each speaker will be contacted by program coordinator and informed on the final decision of the committee. For any questions prior or past that moment please feel free to contact us!
