We’re thrilled to announce that WordCamp Pune 2019 is officially accepting speaker applications!
WordCamp Pune is a chance for WordPress enthusiasts from Pune and nearby areas to understand the exploration of WordPresss through different people sharing their varied talents and perspectives. Developers, project managers, content creators, designers, support professionals, and more come together to talk about all things WordPress. This shows not only the incredible diversity of the WordPress community but also the versatility of WordPress itself.
WordCamp is a conference about WordPress, talks need to be about WordPress or related to WordPress in someway, but some generic content which would interest a WordPress User is also considered.
WordCamps are volunteer driven events and speaking is also considered a way of volunteering at the event, hence it isn’t a paid gig or linked with sponsorship in any way. In fact, speakers are expected to pay for their own travel and accommodation.
How long should your presentation be?
We are planning the following session formats:
- Long talks – 30 minutes in total, breaking down to around 20-25 mins for talk & 10 mins for questions.
- Lightning talks – 10 minutes each, grouped with related topics.
- WorkShops – Have a great idea for a WordPress-related activity, could be a development of a plugin or child theme or shiny tiny Gutenberg block.
What topic should you apply with?
We accept ALL topics related to WordPress and beyond, and encourage them.
We have gathered an extensive list of ideas and topics our audience might be interested in on blog post for your inspiration. If you have a topic you’re passionate about or are an expert in something we haven’t mentioned, don’t hesitate to apply! We are accepting talks from all areas of expertise and are also hoping to attract relevant experts from outside the WordPress world.
We give preference to sessions in Hindi or Marathi along with English. We’ll be very happy if you speak in Hindi or Marathi
Multiple topics in mind? Not sure which one to choose? Why not submit them all? You just need to submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.
What is our application deadline?
The Call for Speakers will be open until January 28th, so please make sure that you send in your application in time.
