Search the internet for currently open Call-for-Papers (CFPs) for developer conferences and events. I work as a Developer Advocate at Postman.com and am looking for speaking opportunities.
Execution Instructions (IMPORTANT)
- Run all WebSearch calls in parallel in a single tool-use block (do NOT run them sequentially)
- Do NOT fetch individual conference detail pages - the search results contain enough information
- Write results immediately after the searches complete - do not make additional fetches
- Target completion time: under 30 seconds
Target Developer Personas
Read references/personas.md for the full target persona taxonomy (API developers, AI developers, technical leadership).
Search Strategy
Run ALL 8 searches IN PARALLEL in a single tool-use block:
Core searches:
call for papers API developer conference 2026 open CFPcall for speakers DevOps platform engineering conference 2026 CFP deadlineAI developer conference LLM agents 2026 call for papers CFP
CFP platform searches:
4. site:papercall.io API developer conference 2026 CFP open
5. site:sessionize.com API DevOps cloud conference 2026 CFP
Aggregator site searches:
6. site:confs.tech CFP 2026 developer API
7. site:github.com developers-conferences-agenda 2026 CFP
8. Linux Foundation events 2026 call for proposals CFP open
Reference Sites
Read references/cfp-sites.md for curated CFP tracking sites to check manually.
CRITICAL: Do NOT make any WebFetch calls. The search results contain sufficient information. Write results immediately after searches complete.
Output Format
Write results to /cfp-output/current-cfps.md immediately after searches complete. Create the directory if it doesn't exist.
API Developer Events
| Event Name | Location | CFP Closes | Summary | CFP Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
AI Developer Events
| Event Name | Location | CFP Closes | Summary | CFP Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
Sort each category by CFP closing date (soonest first). Only include events with CFPs that are currently open or opening soon.
Next step — track the ones you want to pursue
After writing the results, tell the user they can hand the discoveries off to the tracker:
Run
/devrel-skills:cfp-trackerand say e.g. "add the top 3 from the hunter results" to record them on the Team CFP Tracker as Planned submissions.
The tracker reads this same cfp-output/current-cfps.md file, so no copy-paste is
needed — the user just picks which discovered CFPs to plan for.
