So here&#8217;s your chance &#8212; if you&#8217;ve ever even vaguely thought it would be fun to speak at a WordCamp about something of interest to the community, <a href=\"https:\/\/2015-experienced.seattle.wordcamp.org\/call-for-speakers\/\">why not apply to speak<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few ideas to keep in mind when sending us a description of your amazing talk:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nothing&#8217;s 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. However, if your idea is for a very short talk, please apply. We&#8217;ll have some micro-slots available.<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;re planning to say in one medium-sized paragraph. It makes it easier for us to review. Thanks \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t be sketchy: have a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/plan.wordcamp.org\/agreement-among-wordcamp-organizers-speakers-sponsors-and-volunteers\/\">agreement among WordCamp organizers, speakers, sponsors and volunteers<\/a>. It&#8217;s all common sense, but good to keep in mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Have fun! Be brave!
