What Makes a Good WordCamp Speaker Topic?

Our audience consists of a wide variety of people including coders, bloggers, beginners, pros, CEOs, freelancers and everything in-between. We try to select speakers that interest and inspire the whole audience with real-life stories about the speakers’ experiences.

Speaker application outline

We want to encourage first-time speakers as well as welcome experienced speakers.

• If it’s your first time speaking in public let us know so we can help you prepare to deliver an awesome presentation!

Session format

• 20 minutes topic presentation and 10 minutes questions and answer session on the same.
• Speakers need to submit their session, presentation & deliverables and link details well in advance for the review purpose.
• Speakers are also volunteers. Everyone is treated equally at WordCamp, so speakers will receive the same treatment as others.
