Find Your Passion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ask yourself this: what – in the wide world of WordPress – are you passionate about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be anything: Image optimization! Distributed teamwork! Community engagement! Whatever it is, pick one thing!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got it? Good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you fit your thoughts on that topic into a 15 minute lighting talk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about a longer 45 minute session?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about a 90 minute deep dive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you answered “Yes!”<\/em> to any of those questions, we would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look To The Past<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every year we look for a variety of topics from a variety of presenters. We want your voice to be heard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might find it helpful to review the schedules from previous years’ WordCamp US events to get a feel for what the organizing team (and the audience!) is looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
