Thanks for your interest in speaking and helping us put on an amazing WordCamp Rochester!
SPEAKER PROPOSALS ARE NOW CLOSED. WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE SCHEDULE IN JUNE.
We are actively seeking a wide variety of topics and a diverse speaker pool. No speaking experience is required to apply. There is a great resource for Speaker Training provided by WordPress if you want to learn more about speaking or sharpen your skills.
If you submit a proposal, here’s what you need to know:
- Speakers get a free ticket to WordCamp and an invitation to a VIP dinner prior to the event but are not otherwise compensated.
- Sessions cannot be sales pitches for your product or services.
- Each session will be recorded and submitted to WordPress.tv, so you’ll need to sign an A/V release form.
- We will request presentation slides for review a few weeks before WordCamp. Make sure you can meet that deadline.
HOW SPEAKERS WILL BE SELECTED
The deadline for speaker applications is MAY 1.
Once speaker applications close, the WordCamp Rochester organizing team will review the submissions based on topic, assumed interest to attendees, and quality of the application.
