Call for Speakers

Posted on by

Do you have knowledge that would benefit the WordPress community? WordCamp Singapore is now accepting speaker applications.

Speakers are at the core of every WordCamp providing a chance to be involved.  We’re looking for talks on a variety of topics to cover different stages of the WordPress journey from beginner to expert.

Talks for all skill levels will be considered, and a presentation on things you learned setting up your very first website can be just as valuable as a technical walk-through of how custom fields are implemented within WordPress.

WordCamp Singapore speaker applications close midnight, Sunday 30th June, 2019.

Once submissions close, the selection process will commence and we’ll contact everyone as soon as possible via email to confirm details once our voting has been finalised.

Topics

All topics should be related to WordPress. At previous WordCamps’ we’ve had talks on WordPress development, copywriting, blogging, design, marketing, business, and SEO. For some inspiration, take a look at past WordCamp talks over at WordPress TV.

  • Front end development
  • Back end development
  • Writing copy and content
  • WordPress business topics

We’re also specifically interested in any talks on the following topics

  • Site creation case-studies
  • WordPress & Javascript development (Gutenberg, etc)
  • Talks aimed at WordPress beginners
  • Talks covering a topic you wish you had heard before you started out in your own WordPress journey

What We Look For

If you haven’t spoken at a conference before, don’t let that hold you back! We do not require you to be famous, or a “guru”, or have a special certification, all we ask is that you be able to present your chosen topic passionately and respectfully.

We do have some general guidelines for talks, though, and here they are: Your talk should be…

  • directly related to WordPress, or immediately applicable and relevant to our audience
  • respectful of the WordPress community, the WordCamp code of conduct, and the GPL
  • something that interests you, that you want to share!

Event Details

  • Talks can be either 20 or 45 minutes in total length. Expect to have between 10 to 15 minutes for Q&A.
  • Talks will be on Friday, 16th August 2019.
  • We plan to record all the talks and post the videos to WordPress.tv. Speakers will need to sign an A/V release form prior to giving their presentation.
  • Speakers will be offered free admission to WordCamp Singapore, but will not be otherwise compensated.

WordCamp Singapore speaker applications close midnight, Sunday 30th June, 2019.

If you’d like to propose multiple topics, please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.
