\"\"WordCamp Calgary 2017 is still accepting speaker applications. We are currently looking for speakers who want to share their knowledge with fellow WordPressers. We want you to be a part of it! If you\u2019ve ever even vaguely thought it would be fun to speak at a WordCamp about something of interest to the community, why not apply to speak?<\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas to keep in mind when sending us a description of your amazing talk:<\/p>\n

Nothing\u2019s too small, but some topics are too big: You should plan to be able to deliver your talk in about 30-40 minutes with time for questions.<\/p>\n

Describe your audience and your talk: You should be able to describe what type of WordPress user will benefit from your talk. Are you talking to devs? Bloggers? Both? Also, please summarize what you\u2019re planning to say in one medium-sized paragraph. It makes it easier for us to review. Thanks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be sketchy: have a look at the agreement<\/a> among WordCamp organizers, speakers, sponsors and volunteers. It\u2019s all common sense, but good to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

The deadline to submit proposals is Midnight MT on March 18.<\/h3>\n

We are looking for a great and diverse speaker submission pool. Both new and experienced WordCamp speakers are welcome to apply, although we prefer you have some experience presenting to a group (such as giving a talk at a local Meetup). If you\u2019d like to propose multiple topics, please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.<\/p>\n

Add WordCamp Calgary to your calendar and we hope you will apply to speak!<\/p>\n

Apply to Speak at WordCamp YYC<\/h2>\n

Deadline: March 18, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n
