Dear speaker friends, You might know I'm the curator of https://cfp.watch. I already provide some info about conferences there, like do they pay for travel and have a Code of Conduct. I'm considering starting a new side project for speakers. I want to provide more information about conferences and conference organisers so you can decide if you wish to participate in the CfP and what you can expect at the conference. Please help me and tell me what information would be helpful for you.

Every so often, I come across some conference talk which is highly interesting in terms of its actual contents, but which unfortunately is presented in a less than ideal way. I’m thinking of basic mistakes here, such as the presenter primarily looking at their slides rather than at the audience. I’m always feeling a bit sorry when this happens, as I firmly believe that everyone can do good and even great talks, just by being aware of — and thus avoiding — a few common mistakes, and sticking to some simple principles.
