Become a Speaker at WordCamp Davao 2019

Showcase your knowledge. Inspire others.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp Davao 2019 is an event organized by a community of volunteers to share all things about WordPress.

This event brings together :

  • Students
  • Bloggers & influencers
  • Designers and developers
  • Small business owners & entrepreneurs
  • Anyone who is passionate about the web and digital

We want you to be part of it by sharing your knowledge to our community.

What kind of speaker are we looking for?

We do NOT require any special certification.

You don’t really have to be a certified expert or anything like that. But we need you to be passionate about what you do.

We hope you can infect us with that enthusiasm through your talk.

If you haven’t spoken at a conference before, do NOT let that hold you back!

What’s important is that you present your chosen topic passionately and respectfully.
