Call for Proposals¶

Speaking at Write the Docs is a fantastic way to share your ideas with our inspiring community of documentarians.

We’re all looking forward to seeing you on stage in-person in Europe again. But that’s not all, this year we’re also opening up a few talk slots for pre-recorded videos for remote speakers, so if you can’t make it to Berlin on Oct 27-28, 2025 you can still submit your proposal.

You can read our full Call for Proposals, and submit your talk on the website.

The Call for Proposals will be open until 11:59 PM August 4, 2025 CEST.

Sponsorship Updates¶

Our sponsorship prospectus is updated for 2025, with improvements based on sponsor feedback, and updated for this new Berlin conference.

Tickets¶

Tickets are on sale!

We are continuing our work on conference accessibility, and after the success of the recent Portland hybrid conference, making this event a hybrid one also, with virtual tickets, which include:

• Live streaming for all talks and Q&A sessions on the main stage

• The ability to submit live Q&A questions for speakers

• Virtual hallway track and chat so you can network with other remote attendees

In-person ticket options:

• Student or Unemployed Tickets: €75

• Independent Tickets: €275

• Corporate Tickets: €475

Virtual ticket options:

• Student or Unemployed Tickets: €65

• Independent Tickets: €75

• Corporate Tickets: €140

Grant Program¶

As always, we try to keep ticket prices low so that the event is accessible to the widest range of people. However, if the cost or our tickets or travel expenses are an issue for you, you can apply to our Opportunity Grant program.

As a hybrid event, you can choose whether you want to attend in-person or virtually. New this year is that we are limiting reimbursements to € 500 per person (not including conference ticket cost), to allow us to support more people.

You can apply until August 1, 2025 on our website.
