Volunteers are the backbone for most community non-profit events and WordCamps are no exception. We are calling all of you to come forward and help us make WordCamp Seattle 2015 a success. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with members and give back to the WordPress community.

There are number of places – like registration, food/beverage, swag, handling the audio/video equipment etc that we need help and we’d love to have any amount of help possible from you.

If you let us know what your interests are we’ll do our best to find the right position for you. If you would like to attend a few talks, let us know when you fill the volunteer form and we’ll try to work around them.

You can learn more about volunteering here. Please let us know if you would like to help by filling out the volunteer form .

Once you fill out the form, we will get in touch with you to figure out what you can help us with based on your interests.

Seattle WordCamp 2015 — experienced edition is only about six weeks away, and preparations are ramping up for the big event. We’re super excited to announce our schedule of speakers, but before we do we have a few speaking slots still left to fill. So here’s your chance — if you’ve ever even vaguely thought it would be fun to speak at a WordCamp about something of interest to the community, why not apply to speak?

Here are a few ideas to keep in mind when sending us a description of your amazing talk:

• Nothing’s too small, but some topics are too big: You should plan to be able to deliver your talk in about 30-40 minutes with time for questions. However, if your idea is for a very short talk, please apply. We’ll have some micro-slots available.
• Describe your audience and your talk: You should be able to describe what type of WordPress user will benefit from your talk. Are you talking to devs? Bloggers? Both? Also, please summarize what you’re planning to say in one medium-sized paragraph. It makes it easier for us to review. Thanks 🙂
• Don’t be sketchy: have a look at the agreement among WordCamp organizers, speakers, sponsors and volunteers. It’s all common sense, but good to keep in mind.

Have fun! Be brave! Send us your talk idea by filling out this form. We look forward to seeing you at WordCamp.

We’re happy to announce that WordCamp  Seattle: Experienced is officially on the calendar!
