Please note: Our Call for speakers has closed on August 12th 2018, at 11:59 PM. Thank you for all the wonderful speaker applications!

 
Namaskaaram*, dear WordPress-enthusiast!

We invite you to speak to the beautiful and energetic audience at the second edition of WordCamp Kochi – WordCamp Kochi 2018!

If you had the idea, that speaking at WordCamps is only for those experts, who conjure fantastic topics out of thin air and deliver voracious speeches; then, you are clearly mistaken. Whether you are a novice WordPress user, or an expert developer, whether you have a mind-blowing topic with breathtaking slides, or whether you would just like to voice your thoughts, it matters the least here.

All we want is for you to speak about your own experiences, thoughts, and stories about WordPress. So, if this is your first time speaking to an audience, or if you are a seasoned WordPress expert, having spoken at multiple WordCamps, we welcome you, our attendees – comprising of a vibrant WordPress community, would love to hear you speak!

Do remember – WordCamps are for everyone.

We do have a few minor guidelines – nothing big, though:

  1. Your topic should be directly related to WordPress, or related areas. That doesn’t mean that you should be speaking about WordPress, alone. Anything that is relevant for the audience (like Blogging, Open Source Philosophy, Writing, Marketing, among others). (Confused?  Contact Us, or take the plunge right away, and submit your proposal right here! We’ll get back to you)
  2. Plan your talk so that it is about 20 – 30 minutes long. You may even do a lightning talk that is about 10 minutes long.
  3. Please take cognisance of our Code of Conduct, and be respectful towards the WordPress Community, and the GPL.Since, inclusion is one of the central topics of our WordCamp this year – we’re looking for more female speakers.

    And that doesn’t mean that we’ll discriminate male applicants – we’re pulling out all stops to ensure that our biases don’t get in the way of speaker selection.  We have a speaker selection team that will be vetting your talk; you’ll receive a confirmation from us whether your talk has been selected or not, in due course.

Please feel free to hit us up, if you have any further questions on applying to speak, or the speaker selection process. You can even propose multiple topics, if you choose to. Please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.

So, why wait? Take a deep breath, fill in the form below, and shoot us your proposal with all the required details!

Please note: Call for Speakers Closes by 11:59 PM, August 12th, 2018 (Sunday) We had an overwhelming response to our call for speakers! Thanks for all the love, peeps! <3 We'll be reaching out to all the speakers, and will share a final list of speakers soon. Stay tuned!**

* TL;DR: That’s Howdy in Malayalam! 😉
* * We made a mistake in the speaker application form about the dates. The call for speakers officially closes on August 12th 2018, Sunday 11:59 PM, not on August 16th (which is a Thursday). Sorry for the inconvenience, folks!
