WordCamp Jacksonville will bring together our WordPress community of business owners, developers, marketers, designers, content strategists, bloggers, and educators to share and discuss all things WordPress. You can share your experience and knowledge with others in the community by applying to speak today!
Who We Are Looking For
WordCamp Jacksonville is committed to making our event as inclusive as possible. We want to showcase talent available within our community as well as around the US and international.
Whether you have never spoken before or you have spoken at WordCamps across the country, if you have experience that you want to share, then we encourage you to submit a topic. Even if you are from outside the WordPress community, if you have a topic that you feel attendees would benefit from, we welcome you to submit your ideas.
All speakers are expected to:
- be professional and courteous to each other and all attendees
- adhere to the WordCamp Code of Conduct
- agree to the WordCamp Speaker Agreement
About the Process
After the call for speakers closes, all selections and submissions are collectively reviewed by our organizers. Please note that, unfortunately, we cannot accept all submissions. You will receive an email as soon as possible notifying you whether your topic was selected or not.
Speakers will be provided with a projector and a screen for their presentation (size depends on the room). Speakers should bring any equipment they need to connect to projectors. It is also suggested that you reduce your dependency on the in-house internet connection as possible.
If you are selected, you will receive:
- Full conference pass
- Lunch, swag, and all other items included in regular conference attendance
- Access to speaker prep room
