General guidelines for speakers and facilitators
Sessions should be relevant to the world of WordPress. We are looking for a mix of talks and workshops that will appeal to attendees of all levels – WordPress beginners, theme and plugin developers, or anyone involved in managing WordPress sites of any size.
We are interested in talks that expand the knowledge of the WordPress community, highlighting new and innovative ideas, tools, and examples.
You do not need to be a professional speaker, but you should be knowledgeable about the topic you will be presenting or the workshop material you plan to facilitate.
First-time speakers are welcome and encouraged to apply. If you need some inspiration, take a look at the talks on WordPress TV.
Submissions will be reviewed by the organizing team using a semi-blind submission process to encourage diversity in speakers and topics. The initial review and ranking will be based solely on the title and description of the talk. Before the event, be prepared to team up with an organizer to review and refine your speaker slides, workshop content or other material for your presentation.
Speakers will have free admission to WordCamp Montclair. At this time we cannot reimburse travel, lodging, or other expenses.
Speakers must agree to follow our Code of Conduct.
