WordCamp US combines the best of both worlds: an in-person gathering with live streaming for global access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submission Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Limit Submissions:<\/strong> To ensure thorough consideration, please submit no more than three talk proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative ideas are encouraged. The goal is for attendees to come away with new skills and insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Formats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Campfire Chat (30-60 minutes<\/strong>): Small, informal, discussion-driven sessions held in the WordCamp US Lounge; perfect for networking, collaborative problem-solving, and exploring new ideas. These sessions are low-tech (no slides; only flip-chart paper and markers). Note:<\/strong> Facilitating a Campfire Chat requires a unique set of skills, distinct from those needed for traditional presentations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Traditional Session (45 minutes):<\/strong> Deep dive into the latest trends, skills, strategies and concepts in web development, design, enterprise, eCommerce, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Workshop (90 minutes to half a day)<\/strong>: Hands-on, interactive learning experiences designed for deep engagement and practical application. Length will vary based on the topic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Have a unique idea?<\/strong> If your session concept doesn\u2019t fit these formats, we\u2019re still eager to hear it! Creativity is key to a diverse and dynamic program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
