+
+## Everyone is welcome here
+
+This is a community-made, volunteer-led event, and we want the stage to look like the community: all levels, all backgrounds, all kinds of Python.
+
+- Never spoken before? Good - we're actively looking for first-time speakers, and the form even asks so we can make sure there's room for you.
+- Not sure you're "technical enough"? A fresh perspective is exactly what makes a talk worth watching.
+- Making art, music, or games with Python instead of shipping production code? That counts too - bring it.
+- Feel like an imposter? So does most of the room, including some of us organizing this.
+
+If any of that sounds like you, that's your sign to submit.
+
+## What we're looking for
+
+Each talk is **10 minutes long**, with no time set aside for questions. We love practical, experience-driven sessions - the kind where you share what you actually built, broke, or learned.
+
+## Topics
+
+Bring whatever you're excited about. The form groups submissions into:
+
+- Python Core, Internals & Extensions
+- Web Development & APIs
+- Data Science, ML & Analytics
+- Cloud, DevOps & Infrastructure
+- Developer Tooling, Testing & Productivity
+- Community, Education & Career Growth
+- Ethics, Sustainability & Social Impact
+- Python for Fun: Games, Art & Creative Coding
+- Other Topics
+
+## Language
+
+We'll run the event mainly in **English**. As a small experiment for this first edition, we're also opening a limited number of slots for talks in **Turkish** - if that's your preference, give it a shot too.
+
+## Writing a good 10-minute proposal
+
+Ten minutes isn't a lot of runway, so the proposals that land best are the ones built around one clear idea rather than a whole topic. A structure that works:
+
+- **The problem.** What were you actually stuck on, curious about, or trying to fix? Start here, not with the solution - it's what makes people want to know what happens next.
+- **Why it matters.** Is this something a lot of Python developers hit, or a strange corner most people never see? Either is a great hook, as long as you tell us why you cared.
+- **Your take.** What did you find, build, or figure out? This is the actual content of your talk.
+- **What people leave with.** One thing the audience should remember or go try tomorrow. If you can name that thing, your talk has a spine.
+
+You don't need slides or a finished project to submit - just a clear sense of what you'd say in ten minutes.
+
+## What you'll need
+
+- A title (10-75 characters) and an abstract (250-3000 characters)
+- Your topic and language of choice
+- Co-speaker details, if any - one submission covers your whole team, no need for them to submit separately
+- Whether you're okay with your talk being recorded
+- Any special AV or accessibility needs
+
+## About AI-assisted proposals
+
+Used an LLM to help polish your abstract? Just note it in the additional info field. Fully AI-generated proposals tend to read as generic, so we'd rather see your own voice come through.
+
+## The honest bits
+
+This is our first edition, so we're not able to cover **travel, accommodation, or visa costs** this time around. Please keep that in mind before submitting. We're also expecting speakers to attend in person, so the form asks about that too.
+
+## Before you submit
+
+Please make sure you're comfortable with our <a href="/#coc">Code of Conduct</a> and <a href="/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a>. Your submission is collected via Google Forms and processed via Google Drive, hosted outside Turkey.
+
+## Questions?
+
+Write to us at <a href={`mailto:${event.contactEmail}?subject=%5BCFP%5D`}>{event.contactEmail}</a> - we can't wait to hear what you're bringing.
