Conference reviewers see hundreds of proposals each year so proposals must state concrete claims and deliverables not vague promises, center on the Go language and show why Go was instrumental for any project, include a detailed outline that lists specific examples and a demo plan, attach code snippets and demos and include a time allocation estimate, verify any factual claims, explain the talk’s measurable takeaway, avoid product pitches or content better suited to a blog, and proofread for professionalism.
