We’re adding something new this year. Bob Dunn has joined the organizing team this year and created our ‘Podcast Corner’.
If you have your own podcast, this is an opportunity to record an episode for your show at WordCamp Seattle.
Imagine the possibilities! Think about the potential guests! WordCamp Seattle brings in some incredible people. Plus, you’d be ‘on location’ at an amazing event.
The topic is totally up to you. We want this to fit your show. Once you have a topic, find yourself a guest and you are good to go! We’ll do the rest.
There will be two hand-held mics waiting for you and we will take care of the recording. Your job is to have fun.
There are 8 40-minutes slots available. Each slot will include 30 minutes for recording time. We will send you the audio file within one week of #wcsea.
Grab a slot that works for you:

I first met Jocelyn Mozak at WordCamp Portland in 2017. I was there primarily to network and connect with others I had only previously met online, but there were a couple of sessions which intrigued me.
One of those was Jocelyn’s Building a Profitable WP Agency. It wouldn’t normally be a topic of interest as my brand is all about content and social media marketing, but I was exploring possibilities which would allow me to focus more on my personal passions. It couldn’t hurt to listen.
By the time her talk was finished, I was impressed. I was impressed with the material presented. It was comprehensive and understandable. I was impressed with her speaking. As a speaker myself, that spoke volumes. She was comfortable, confident, and clearly passionate. She spoke to us, not at us. Her delivery was fun and she was relatable.
I had a chance to introduce myself later that afternoon. We had a great conversation and have been friends since. Over the past 2 years I have attended other talks she has given. Early this year we talked about her career, how WordPress has given so much to her, and her desire to help others in a more profound way.
When the opportunity arose this year for a keynote speaker, Jocelyn immediately came to mind.
Jocelyn has over a decade of experience building, running and wrangling a 6-Figure WordPress Website Design Agency all while having two boys at home.
While her education in engineering certainly refined her technical and analytical skills, it is her passion for what she does that makes her an outstanding WordPress web designer. She is an expert in thinking outside the box and filtering out the key points amidst all the noise.
In addition to running her Agency, Jocelyn is a mentor & coach to other WordPress professionals helping them to build businesses that support the life they desire.
In her own words:
“WordPress has come a long way from its humble beginning.
My own journey with WordPress began over 10 years ago. Seated at a park, reading the iThemes php code while my 2 boys played. Little did I know where my WordPress adventure would take me.
Maybe your experience with WordPress was similar.
You sat down at your computer one day with a dream, a vision and you installed this software called WordPress that everyone kept talking to you about. And off you went.
That is the gift of WordPress.
WordPress enters our life and we never look back.
Whether you be a blogger, freelancer, or small business owner you will discover opportunities connect and grow within the WordPress community on a global and local level and how to get the most out of your WordCamp Seattle 2019 experience.”
We’re excited by the variety and quality of proposals we’ve already received for WordCamp Seattle 2019. In the coming days, we’ll be reaching out to those who have applied to speak — so if you’ve applied, thank you! WordCamp would not exist without the participation, hard work and enthusiasm of all of our speakers.
This year we want to give more people a chance to apply, so we’ve decided to extend the application deadline to midnight on September 3.
Maybe you’ve discovered a particularly cool technique for managing your sites. Did you write or are you working on a particularly cool plugin? Do you know about optimizing WordPress for scale, performance or search? Do you use WordPress to solve problems in your classroom, business or enterprise? How has WordPress changed your life or livelihood?
We all have a story to tell, and we’d like you to speak this year and share yours!
All you need to do now is apply. You don’t have to be an expert. All you need is you story.
Submit your application with the basics about you and your topic, and you’ll hear from us soon.
WordCamp only works because folks like you (yes you!) decide to share your wisdom, ideas and experience with the wider community. So please apply to speak, and see you at WCSEA 2019!
NOTE: Call for speakers closes on September 3.
Perhaps you have a passion for WordPress or you want to share your WordPress-related technological or business insights and expertise.
Maybe you want to tell the story of how WordPress powers your dream, drives your business or transforms your professional or personal life. If so, why not apply to be a speaker?
WordCamp Seattle is a 100% community-driven event, which means an opportunity for everyone to both teach and learn, listen and speak. Everyone has a story to tell and even if you haven’t considered it before, we encourage you to apply.
Successful talks span a range of WordPress-related topics from development and design to open source, business, marketing, and more. We are looking for speakers who can teach, inform, and inspire.
As a speaker, you’ll receive complementary access to the event including lunch. More importantly, you’ll join a community of developers, designers and leaders who come together to make WordCamp Seattle happen.
This year, we will be accepting applications for both full (max 45 minute) and lightning (max 10 minute) sessions. In addition, if you would like to lead a more hands-on session, you can apply to lead a 2-hour workshop on any WordPress topic that will introduce participants to a new skill or technique. Please indicate your preferred format when you apply.
Please use the Apply to Speak form to submit your application. The call for speakers closes at midnight PST on September 3rd.
You are welcome to submit multiple proposals, up to a maximum of three. If you submit more than three, we will consider only your first three submissions.
Be sure your talk description/abstract defines the exact topic you want to talk about and what you hope people will learn or gain from attending your session.
A committee of volunteer organizers will review submissions beginning on September 4th. Applicants will be notified regarding the status of their application beginning on or around September 10th. If you don’t hear from us immediately on the 10th, please be patient as it may take some time to inform all applicants of their status. If you submit multiple proposals, you will only receive one response from us.
WordCamp Seattle thrives as a result of many talented and inspiring speakers from many backgrounds. Even if you’ve never done anything like this before we invite you to apply to join us as a speaker at WordCamp Seattle this year.
WordCamp Seattle is returning to the Washington State Conference Center on November 9th and 10th! A place for everyone involved within the WordPress ecosystem, from website developers to end users, this is an opportunity to reach this amazing, diverse community.
Last year’s event brought on over 500 paid attendees, 39 speakers, 25 sponsors, and a few dozen volunteers to the conference.
We have specifically designed the layout of the event space to create maximum visibility for our sponsors. Sponsor tables are set up in the main common area with the center serving as a hub for informal conversations, meals, and networking.
With coffee, tea, and snacks served at the far end of the space, we’ve made sure every booth is highly visible and will see foot traffic through the conference.
Our sponsor packages include an option to fit your budget, and we’d love to have you be part of our community!:
