It\u2019s been almost 10 years since WordCamp last took place in Houston. The organizing team is extremely excited to announce that we are now accepting speaker applications for the big return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are looking for speakers from lots of different backgrounds, on a wide variety of topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each talk should be approximately 45 minutes long with time included for questions from the audience. It can be any format: how-to, panel discussion, case study, and more. Topics should appeal to developers, designers, bloggers, business owners, community organizers, newbies, oldies, or anyone in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior experience is not necessary! If you\u2019ve got WordPress related information to share, but you\u2019ve never spoken at a WordCamp before, that\u2019s ok. We\u2019re looking for speakers from all backgrounds and all experience levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Need some inspiration to get those topic ideas flowing? This list is not comprehensive. If it relates to WordPress, we\u2019re interested!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whew! Hopefully, your creative juices are flowing now. Put your pen to paper (or keyboard to digital paper) and write down all of those brilliant ideas you\u2019re having. Narrow it down to a few and start planning your submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can submit more than one talk. You\u2019ll just need a title and description (write these to entice the audience to attend), plus your own bio, and you\u2019ll be ready to submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve got this information ready, hop on over to https:\/\/2020.houston.wordcamp.org\/call-for-speakers\/<\/a> to complete the form (one time for each talk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call for speakers closes on February 29th<\/strong>, so get your talk submitted before Leap Day. The committee will evaluate the submissions, choose the ones that best fit the needs of the event and notify you mid to late March if you\u2019ve been accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can\u2019t wait to see what you\u2019re going to talk about at WordCamp Houston 2020!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got questions?
