Call for Speakers

Note: Our Call for Speakers is now closed. If you have any questions about WordCamp Singapore, please email us or tweet us at @WordCampSG.

Talks for all skill levels will be considered, and a presentation on things you learned setting up your very first website can be just as valuable as a technical walk-through of how custom fields are implemented within WordPress.

We’re also looking to put together a show-and-tell segment, where you can tell a story of how your WordPress website evolved over time. This will be great for anyone looking to gain some speaking experience!

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp Singapore is a community event that brings together bloggers, developers, designers, artists, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and educators from Singapore and all across Asia. We would like to have WordCamp Singapore represent the passion, talent and diversity of our community, and we want you to be a part of it!

What We Look For

We do NOT require you to be famous, or an “expert”, or a programmer, or have special certification, or anything like that. If you haven’t spoken at a conference before, don’t let that hold you back! All we ask is that you be able to present your chosen topic passionately and respectfully.

We do have some general guidelines for talks, though, and here they are: Your talk should be…

  • directly related to WordPress, or immediately applicable and relevant to our audience
  • respectful of the WordPress community, the WordCamp code of conduct, and the GPL
  • something that interests you, that you want to share!

Event Details

  • Talks can be either 20 or 45 minutes in length. Expect to have between 10 to 15 minutes for Q&A.
  • NEW! We’re also looking to put together a show-and-tell segment, where you can tell a story of how your WordPress website evolved over time. Talks will be 5 minutes, with another 5 minutes for Q&A. This will be great for anyone looking to gain some speaking experience.
  • Talks will be on Tuesday, 6 September 2016.
  • We plan to record all talks and post the videos to WordPress.tv. Speakers will need to sign an A/V release form prior to giving their presentation.
  • Speakers will be offered free admission to WordCamp Singapore, but will not be otherwise compensated.

The deadline to submit your speaker application is Monday, 18 July 2016, at 11:59pm Singapore time Wednesday, 6 July 2016, at 11:59pm.

If you’d like to propose multiple topics, please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.

If you have any questions about speaking, or if you have trouble accessing or using the talk submission form, please email us or tweet us at @WordCampSG.
