Call for Speakers

Do you have a valuable WordPress experience you want to Share? If so, apply to speak at WordCamp Harare using the form at the bottom.

What Makes a Good WordCamp Speaker Topic?

Our audience consists of a wide variety of people including coders, bloggers, beginners, pros, CEOs, freelancers and everything in-between. We try to select speakers that interest and inspire the whole audience with real-life stories about the speakers’ experiences.

Speaker application outline

We want to encourage first-time speakers as well as welcome experienced speakers.

  • If it’s your first time speaking in public let us know so we can help you prepare to deliver an awesome presentation!
  • Slides play a significant role in the presentation. Be sure to include them in your talk.

Session format

  • 20 minutes topic presentation and 10 minutes questions and answer session on the same.
  • Speakers need to submit their session, presentation & deliverables and link details well in advance for the review purpose.
  • Speakers are also volunteers. Everyone is treated equally at WordCamp, so speakers will receive the same treatment as others.
  • Speakers are not paid to speak at WordCamp, nor is their session meant to promote their product or themselves. The aim is to share their knowledge, and that’s what we’re looking for.
