blairguk Pick a topic you care about or know a lot about, build a talk around it and then submit it to conferences. Conferences generally pick based on the talk abstract, so writing one that gets people interested and gets the point of your talk across is hugely important.

blairguk As for finding conferences, I generally use confs.tech and just apply to all the ones I like the look of. My filtering criteria is usually that they have a decent CoC and that they pay for speaker travel/accommodation.
