If you missed the deadline for submitting your talk for The Fifth Elephant 2019 -- to be held in Bangalore on 25 and 26 July -- you can propose a talk here.
We are accepting talks on:
##Perks for submitting proposals:
Submitting a proposal, especially with our process, is hard work. We appreciate your effort.
We offer one conference ticket at discounted price to each proposer.
We only accept one speaker per talk. This is non-negotiable. Workshops may have more than one instructor.
In case of proposals where more than one person has been mentioned as collaborator, we offer the discounted ticket and t-shirt only to the person with who the editorial team corresponded directly during the evaluation process.
##Selection criteria:
The first filter for a proposal is whether the technology or solution you are referring to is open source or not. The following criteria apply for closed source talks:
The criteria for selecting proposals, in the order of importance, are:
No one submits the perfect proposal in the first instance. We therefore encourage you to:
Our editorial team helps potential speakers in honing their speaking skills, fine tuning and rehearsing content at least twice - before the main conference - and sharpening the focus of talks.
##How to submit a proposal (and increase your chances of getting selected):
The following guidelines will help you in submitting a proposal:
To summarize, we do not accept talks that gloss over details or try to deliver high-level knowledge without covering depth. Talks have to be backed with real insights and experiences for the content to be useful to participants.
##Passes and honorarium for speakers:
We pay an honorarium of Rs. 3,000 to each speaker and workshop instructor at the end of their talk/workshop. Confirmed speakers and instructors also get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
##Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers. We evaluate each case on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans. If you require a grant, request it when you submit your proposal in the field where you add your location. The Fifth Elephant is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships; travel grant budgets vary.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:

As a provider of Competitive Intelligence as a Service to eCommerce businesses and consumer
brands, DataWeave aggregates and analyses product catalog data from eCommerce websites each
day at massive scale. Once aggregated, this data is fed into a complex process of extraction,
transformation, machine learning, and analyses. These operations are performed on a consistent
basis to provide our customers with easily consumable and actionable insights.
To be precise, we aggregate over 200 million data points across 2000+ web sources to deliver 200+
reports each day.
The web sources span multiple verticals ranging across eCommerce, travel, classified listings, mobile
apps, and more. The data transformation may range from a simple ETL to more complex ML models.
Having a unified framework to collect, transform, analyze, validate and deliver the data at a large
scale is a significant challenge.
As organizations continue to invest in and consume Big Data, challenges in capturing, structuring, and processing data in a meaningful and cost-effective manner are growing causes for concern. The scope of the problem is wide-ranging, especially since Big Data is now mission-critical in diverse industries, such as healthcare, banking, IoT, retail, and more.
Smart organizations are looking for ways to capture and store data (both internal and third-party) at scale, process it efficiently, and generate actionable insights consistently – all without reaching for deeper pockets.
This talk will throw some light on DataWeave’s journey in building a data processing framework which handles diverse datasets at scale and delivers accurate and high-quality insights consistently to its retail customers.
