Think You’re A Good Fit?<\/h3>\n

We’re looking for people who fit the following criteria:<\/p>\n

A love of WordPress<\/strong>
\nIt is a conference about WordPress, after all. While we are looking for a wide variety of topics, please make sure your submission is in some way relevant to WordPress.<\/p>\n

A love of the community<\/strong>
\nWordCamps are all about giving back. Our speakers, organizers and volunteers are not compensated for their time or expenses, so it would be best if you want to give back!<\/p>\n

A love of your topic<\/strong>
\nMore than that, really… you need passion and experience to really get your point across. Regardless of why you love your chosen topic, we love that you love it!<\/p>\n

A love of speaking<\/strong>
\nWe don’t require previous speaking experience…. but you will be presenting to a large group of your peers, and will be recorded for WordPress TV.<\/p>\n

A love of the GPL<\/strong>
\nIf you distribute WordPress-derivative works, your users should enjoy the same freedoms that WordPress itself provides. In other words, your products should be 100% GPL or compatible.<\/p>\n

That’s Me! What Now?<\/strong>
\nFill out the form below. Feel free to submit multiple topics (one form submission per topic, please). Most talk slots will be 45-50 minutes, which means that your talk should be 30-40 minutes with time for questions at the end.<\/p>\n
