Call for Speakers

Would you like to share your knowledge with the community? WordCamp Harare 2018 is running with the theme Business and Tech Aligned. We came up with this idea to help our local community to earn a living using WordPress. If you run your business using WordPress, or you just have some WordPress tips you’d love to share at WordCamp Harare 2018, then apply to be a speaker now.

Don’t let the theme limit you. You can talk about anything WordPress related. The theme is just there to guide you as you choose the topic you want to cover.

How to Apply

  • Fill in the form below. Specify your topic, and select the audience you want to engage.
  • If you’d like to suggest multiple topics, please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.
  • The closing dates for submission will be 8 October 2018 23:59 UTC +02:00.
If your application is successful:
  • We will inform you soon after 8 October 2018. If you’re accepted, please don’t announce your talk until we publish the final schedule. We need to ensure that all prospective speakers can still attend, and offer slots to backup speakers if there’s need.
  • Slides will need to be submitted to the WordCamp Harare team before 3 November 2018. We need to check for the correct use of trademarks, code of conduct issues and anything that smells like an advert.

We understand that speaking at WordCamp is voluntary, and so we are very grateful to everyone who’s willing to take the time to share their knowledge and experience with us.

We will have two tracks this year; one for business and one for developers. As a speaker, you’ll get the chance to choose the audience that best relates to what you want to talk about. Please note that all talks will be recorded for wordpress.tv, so all successful speakers will need to sign an A/V release form.
