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.
