Have you been thinking about applying to speak at WordCamp DC, but you aren’t sure what topic to propose or are wondering if it’s OK if you’re a first time speaker? Please join me (Beth Soderberg, Speaker Wrangler and Co-Organizer of WordCamp DC) during my upcoming office hours to talk it all out.
These office hours are a safe space to talk out your thoughts, fears, etc. My job is to help you figure out what you’d like to do. Do you want to apply? What talk would you want to propose? What should go in your bio?
Our speaker selection is a blind process for initial submissions, which means that only one person knows who you are: me! I am the person who anonymizes submissions so that they can be reviewed by the rest of the organizing team. I do not vote in the initial selection process for this reason. As a result, talking with me during office hours or otherwise asking me questions about speaking will not impact which submissions are accepted, nor will it guarantee the acceptance of any submissions.
So please, join me for office hours! I can’t wait to talk about all of your ideas!
If you can’t make it to either of the below sessions, please feel free to email us OR reach out to me privately on Twitter and we can set up a time to chat.
