Search the internet for currently open Call-for-Papers (CFPs) for developer conferences and events. I work as a Developer Advocate at Postman.com and am looking for speaking opportunities.
Execution Instructions (IMPORTANT)
- Run all WebSearch calls in parallel in a single tool-use block (do NOT run them sequentially)
- Do NOT fetch individual conference detail pages - the search results contain enough information
- Write results immediately after the searches complete - do not make additional fetches
- Target completion time: under 30 seconds
