YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF OUR SPEAKERS?

Welcome! The contents are the heart of WordCamps: there are those who come for the first time and want to get closer to the platform, those who have used it for a long time and want to deepen some knowledge.

We are pleased to host speakers of all ages and backgrounds: WordCamps are inclusive and accessible events. You will not have to be a professional speaker, but we expect competence and passion towards the topic you will talk about.

WHAT KIND OF TALK WILL WE ACCEPT?

We will accept different types of talk. We will prefer the formative ones, those useful for the community, those that present novelties, the original and unusual ones, those that we believe we have more appeal for the varied public that will participate in the Vadodara edition 2019.

The deadline for sending applications is  September 16, 2019, at 12:00 AM IST.

ARE YOU A FIRST TIME PUBLIC SPEAKER?

Launch yourself, we are ready to fall in love with you! Conquer us with your “workhorse” or with the themes you would like to present. WordCamp represents a great springboard for a career as a Public Speaker! We will be honored to have the chance to present a new life in the community.

And if you wish, we can accompany you to designing a proposal and help you prepare to speak in public:  write to us!

WILL I BE PAID AS A SPEAKER?

Your participation as a speaker at WordCamp is voluntary. There is therefore no payment or reimbursement for WordCamp Vadodara speakers. All selected speakers will however be entitled to free admission to the event. So, if you are applying, don’t buy the ticket! We will send you a coupon to get it for free. 
If your application is rejected and you decide to come anyway (thank you!), Do not worry about being left without a ticket: We will sell a further lot after the call closes, and we will provide you with a reserved link.

IF I APPLY, WILL I BE SURE TO PARTICIPATE AS A SPEAKER?

We receive many applications: if yours is not one of the chosen ones, don’t be discouraged. 
If you need further information write to us.

If you want to send more talk proposals, fill out the form several times, one for each proposal.

Good luck!

Sponsoring a WordCamp is an incredible way to contribute to the WordPress Community. By their very nature, WordCamps are designed to be as accessible as possible to anyone who wishes to attend, and a large way in which this is realized is by keeping ticket prices as low as possible. WordCamp sponsors play a huge part in keeping WordCamps as open as the software itself.

Apart from helping keep our ticket costs accessible to attendees, your sponsorship will also allow us to provide a substantially higher quality event than what we could with revenue from ticket sales alone.

Because of these reasons, WordCamp attendees, speakers, volunteers, and organizers are known for genuinely appreciating the contributions of sponsors, as it is through their help that many in the community can be part of the event. Sponsoring WordCamp Vadodara will give you a fantastic opportunity to engage with the greater WordPress community during the event.

Sponsors join us for WordCamp Vadodara 2019 on October 12^th at Lukshmi Villas Palace Banquets & Conventions and showcase your brand to the WordPress community.  

Every year, our attendees include designers, developers, bloggers, small business owners, entrepreneurs, large enterprise executives, students, and educators from Vadodara and across the region.

Vadodara is known as Sanskari Nagari, A Cultured City and most sought after location for the dance known as Garba. We at WordCamp Vadodara, dedicate our love for Garba by naming the sponsorship level after the popular Garba types.
