We are thrilled to encourage the best speakers from any location throughout the WordPress Community and beyond to submit their session ideas.
Tips for a Great Speaker Application
- We encourage new speakers so don’t hesitate to apply, if applying for the First time. For us your command over the subject is the prime/essential thing presentation skills comes second for us.
- Local speakers from local community will be given first preference.
- We would also love to hear Stories/Real Life Examples from you, instead of only Theoretical Gyan [ Knowledge ]. So try to co-relate your topic/presentation with our day to day life problems/experience/solutions/expectation as we expect good take away for our attends from your session 🙂
- Group Presentation is also accepted so do share your thoughts with us, we will try to facilitate you for the same.
Some Ground Rules and Session Format !!!

- If you have multiple session suggestion on different days, please apply multiple times.
- Speakers need to submit their session, presentation & deliverables  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.
