Are you passionate about content, design, or development? WordCamp NYC 2019 wants to hear from you! Happening September 14 and 15 at Convene in Midtown Manhattan, join around 400 other community member professionals, marketers, writers, bloggers, and developers for our 2019 conference. Share your passion with everyone, mingle, and learn.
Whether you’ve never spoken at a camp before, or you’re a regular, we welcome all types of talks, from all ages. A few points our speakers agree on are…
- Presentations are relevant to WordPress in some significant way
- Public speaking experience is not required, just passion and deep knowledge about your topic
- Being respectful of the open community, and not making a talk be a hard sales pitch
If you’d like some inspiration, visit WordPress.tv to view some of the great talks published from camps around the world. A couple of resources to increase your odds of selection are:
- Speaking at a WordCamp (Guideline Article)
- How to Write a Compelling Talk Proposal (Guideline Article)
WordCamp NYC is committed to creating an event that fairly represents the dynamic WordPress community at large. We welcome submissions from diverse backgrounds, and will give special considerations to sessions focusing under-represented groups in tech.
