We\u2019re thrilled to announce that the Call for Speakers for WordCamp Mombasa 2019 is now OPEN!.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The last date to apply for to speak is on 28th November 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why speak? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Presenting at WordCamp takes some work but is very rewarding. You get to share your passion, convince people you\u2019re worth hiring and help everyone learn about WordPress, all at the same time. Speakers also receive free admission to WordCamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we\u2019re looking for? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WordCamp Mombasa would like to showcase\u00a0the best of WordPress and the WordPress Community. We\u2019re particularly interested in hearing from those who have used WordPress in interesting, innovative, and significant ways. Whether the open-source software was used to deliver something technically amazing, or whether WordPress was the foundation for creating something meaningful in the community, we want to know about it.\u00a0We\u2019re also looking for dynamic and versatile speakers to talk about how they use WordPress to grow their business, develop advanced plugins, tell their stories, and much much more. Everybody has a unique WordPress story to tell, and\u00a0we want to hear yours<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ideal speaker has a WordPress-related topic they are passionate about and that they can present in 10 or 45 minutes with attractive slides and\u00a0detailed, coherent explanations. Designers, bloggers, businesses, and developers are all welcome to apply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show us what you\u2019ve made with WordPress, how you did it, or what you learned in the process. Give us examples: important lessons you learned, specific advice on how to avoid problems, etc. Nothing is too hardcore, advanced, simple or beginner-level. We\u2019re looking for diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
