Call for Speakers

Posted on by

TLDR: Speaker submissions are open closed.

WordCamps are an opportunity to get involved in your local WordPress community. You can talk with and learn from other freelancers, developers, designers, agency owners, etc. You can also learn the latest technologies and interact with others located here in Colorado.

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 courage and something to share.

Here are a few examples:

  • How to write a kickass blog post
  • SEO (technical and otherwise)
  • Onboarding clients
  • What does success look like (as a business)
  • Writing Object oriented code
  • WP Query loop (this could be a workshop)
  • Principles of design for non-designers
  • CSS Grid
  • Advanced Customizer
  • Build tools (maybe a workshop)
  • Gutenberg for:
    • Business owners
    • Content creators (bloggers)
    • Themes
    • Plugins
  • Introduction to WordPress
    • Domains 101
    • Installing WordPress
    • Picking Your First Theme
    • Essential Plugins
    • Troubleshooting

We’ll have short sessions (about 30 minutes) and longer sessions (about 60 minutes). We’ll work with you to pick the right length.

We’re also planning town halls. Which is where we have experts who answer questions about particular topics. Probably design, development, & running an agency. If you want to take part in a town hall submit a talk saying so.

On Sunday we’re planning on having 2-3 hour workshops. Feel free to submit a workshop idea on the same speaker application form. You’ll have a screen and you can show the attendees how to go through something step by step.

Would you be interested in volunteering at the Happiness Bar? We’d love if you could volunteer at the Happiness Bar for the hour after your talk. This won’t affect your speaker application.

We’ll close the call for speakers on May 4th.

We’ll let you know one way or the other by the end of May.
