When crafting your proposal, keep in mind the real-world challenges our community is facing. Sessions that help attendees overcome these obstacles will resonate the most:

• Lack of Time – testers struggle to balance delivery speed with improving automation.

• Scaling & Maintenance – keeping frameworks stable and reliable as teams and projects grow.

• Proving ROI & Getting Buy-In – showing leadership the measurable value of automation.

• Team Resistance & Motivation – dealing with cultural barriers, skill gaps, or lack of enthusiasm.

• Tool & Tech Transitions – migrating between frameworks (e.g., Cypress → Playwright) or adopting new platforms.

• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing – keeping automation practices clear, consistent, and easy to onboard.

 If your session offers strategies, demos, or case studies that directly address these blockers, you’ll be hitting exactly what the Guild community needs.

Focus On:

• Practical, actionable insights – frameworks, demos, and takeaways attendees can use right away.

• Real-world case studies – success stories, lessons learned, and “what worked vs. what didn’t.”

• Deep technical content – code walkthroughs, architectures, pipelines, and tool integrations.

• Solutions to common challenges – saving time, scaling frameworks, proving ROI, motivating teams.

• Community-first value – share expertise, not just opinions. Help attendees solve their biggest blockers.

Avoid:

• Pure vendor pitches – tool-specific promotion without community value.

• High-level theory only – attendees want to see how it works, not just hear “why it matters.”

• Overly generic talks – the Guild thrives on specificity, depth, and concrete examples.

• Fluff or hype – skip buzzwords unless you can back them up with a demo or use case.
