Call for Speakers

TLDR; Speaker applications for WordCamp Denver 2016 are now closed.

WordCamps are an opportunity to learn about new technology; make connections with designers, developers, freelancers, copy-writers, agency owners, and site builders; as well as get involved in your local WordPress community.

To do that we need members in our community to step onto a stage and share their story. You don’t need to have a special degree or credentials. You just have to have a learning moment that you’re willing to share.

  • Did you get hacked? Tell us what you learned?
  • Did you learn the secrets of content marketing? Can you distill them into a top 10 list?
  • Do you develop custom themes for small businesses? What are the most time consuming parts of that process and how do you speed it up?
  • Did you find the perfect 4 plugins for any site? What are they and are there any tricks to installing them?
  • Did you have a client from hell and you put in place rules to never have one again? What are those rules and how well have they worked?

We’re going to have 4 types of talks:

  • Development (coding, hosting, test sites, etc)
  • Design (color & design theory, theme design, etc)
  • Business (profit optimization, running a team, working with freelancers, etc)
  • Growth (SEO, SEM, content marketing, social media, etc)

If you’ve had a learning moment and it relates to one of the topics above we’d love to have you.

We’re also planning a townhall track which will be an hour long Q&A on a designated topics. If you’re willing to be in the hot seat in a townhall session please mention it in your application.

Update: Applications to speak at WordCamp Denver 2016 have closed.
