  • Was WordPress the foundation for creating something meaningful in your community?
  • How has WordPress helped you grow your business?
  • What was your experience updating your code for the latest WordPress release?

  • Workshops for beginners
  • Workshops for designers (or for developers wanting to learn more about design principles)
  • Plugin/theme development
  • Setting up an online store (particularly with WooCommerce)
  • Gutenberg (for developers and content writers)
  • Workshops for running a WordPress business (remote work, managing an agency, scaling your business etc)
  • Lessons from the Open Source Communities
  • Marketing
  • Security
  • Building with the WordPress REST API
  • Coding and Development Best Practices
  • And any other WordPress topic you’re passionate about

We are still short on a few Workshops so if your topic can be presented as a workshop please submit as such or indicate on application.

All candidates will be informed as to whether or not their talk was accepted from the 25th of September.

If you’d like to propose multiple topics, please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic.
