WordCamp Vancouver Blog

WordCamp Vancouver is seeking a wide variety of topics and a diversity of speakers to fill three tracks for 2023. Want to share your WordPress know-how or experiences with the community at WordCamp Vancouver this year? We’d love to hear from you!

Selected speakers will get a free ticket to WordCamp Vancouver 2023 and an invitation to the speaker’s event the Friday evening before WordCamp Vancouver.

Speaker submissions are open until Saturday, July 15, 2023 at 11pm.

Speaker submissions have been extended until Saturday, July 29, 2023 at 11pm.

Speaker submissions have closed. Thank you to all who applied!

Once the speaker application deadline passes the WordCamp Vancouver organizing team will review the submissions and all applicants will be notified within two weeks. We will request presentation slides for review prior to WordCamp Vancouver and ask you to sign an A/V release form to record and submit your session to WordPress.tv.

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

WordCamp Vancouver is a community run event, put on by the community, for the community, and funded by the community. The entire event wouldn’t be possible without the support of businesses in our community who benefit from WordPress. If that’s you, we’d love to have you support the event. If you are interested in sponsoring, please take a look at the levels below, and fill in the sponsorship form.
