We are happy to announce that on 13th and 14th of December 2021 in Moscow we will be holding the third GolangConf, one of the biggest conferences dedicated to the Go programming language in Russia!


We have decided to slightly change the format this year and to go after the best talks on development, support and maintenance of services written in the Go language. No more challenge of choice - we put extra effort in hand-picking the best talks on the most relevant topics for you. Our experts will tell you everything you need to know about development in our favorite programming language, so that you can stay on top of the trends.

This year Golang Conf is about hardcore and expertise, and the goal is to form Go expert community in Russia.


At this point in time we invite you to apply with your talk on PaperCall. Going further, we’ll have additional information about other activities that we are open to hosting at our conference.


GolangConf will take place in Moscow, Russia and we are open to hosting both in-person and online (remote) talks.


For speakers wishing to present in-person, we provide help with visa application, travel expenses and accommodation in Moscow.


Our audience consists of software engineers, infrastructure engineers, CTO’s, CEO’s, etc. Full spectrum of people interested in software development in Go language.

Presentation concept

  • Lightning talks should be 7-15 minutes long.
  • Any format should allow for follow-up questions that may take about 15 minutes after the talk is over.

  • Live demos are allowed (please inform us in advance).
  • You may submit multiple proposals.

As detailed as possible
Aside from the traditional theses, we’d like to see a short summary of your talk in 2-3 paragraphs. Should you need help with it, reach out to us: we’ll do our best in helping you to prepare it.
With a title that reveals the topic
With any relevant additional materials
You are welcome to send us the draft or the link to your previous talks.

If your talk is accepted, we may ask you for a promotional video for your talk, 1-2 minutes long. Nothing fancy, you can record with your smartphone, just tell your future audience, what you want to share with them in the talk.
