Welcome to the CallForPapers (cfp.help) website where we aim to aggregate and display information about upcoming Call For Paper (CfPs) on technical conferences around the globe. In case you're wondering, a CfP is a call for speakers to submit their session proposals.

The site is a community-driven and maintained effort so we rely on community contributions to add new CfPs to the list. All help is welcome :)
