If you’ve ever been to a WordCamp, you know that the talks are a huge part of the event. We love that so many people want to share their WordPress knowledge with our community, and have had amazing talks come out of WordCamp. You can even watch last year’s videos online!

Do you have a lesson, idea, or story you want to share with our audience? You should apply to speak. You don’t need to have tons of public speaking experience (or any), all we ask is that you be able to present your chosen topic passionately and respectfully (there are a few other guidelines outlined on the speaker application). If you’re unsure about a topic, we’re happy to chat it through.

This year we’re trying something a little different with our speaker applications. In addition to our usual lineup, we’re aiming to have two pre-determined tracks: WordPress 101 on Saturday morning to get people new to WordPress up-to-speed for the rest of the conference; and WordPress in Higher Education.

We’re also trying to put together some panels for general conversation on common topics. If you’re interested in volunteering for a panel, check that out.

We’ll close speaker applications in May 8th, so you’ll have plenty of time to get your presentations done 🙂
