What makes a great tech conference abstract?

What goes into a strong tech conference abstract?
My latest
post on Nordic APIs explores some tips to help speakers craft solid pitches!
In short, it's relevant to the event theme and audience. It's vendor-neutral. It's compelling with a specific angle. It's well-structured with clear takeaways. And the speaker has a credible background.
These are some of the things we look for on the Nordic APIs speaker selection committee, but the advice could apply to all kinds of community tech events.
This is my sly way of sharing that the
call for speakers is now open for the
Platform Summit 2026! This one is shaping up to be our biggest event yet, and abstracts are already coming in. Excited to look through them soon!
