That’s it! Speaker submissions for the inaugural WordCamp DC are officially closed.
An enormous thank you to all of our brave applicants who took the time to craft proposals. We will get started right away in reviewing all of the excellent submissions we’ve received. We are delighted to report that we have 125 submissions for the very first WordCamp in DC, so we definitely have a lot of work to do!
If you applied, this is what you should expect next:
All applicants will hear from us via email by June 7, 2017.
If your talk is accepted, you’ll receive more details about what you need to do next to prepare, how our mentorship program will work, and what to expect in the weeks running up to WordCamp. For now, you can review our FAQs for more information on all of these things.
If your talk is not accepted, please know that we’ve all been there. We have received so many thoughtful, diverse, and useful talks, we cannot accept them all. If we do not ask you to speak, it is likely to be because of lack of space or duplicate amazing ideas. We hope you’ll continue to seek out opportunities to share your knowledge and expertise at future meetups, other WordCamps, and of course WordCamp DC 2018.
Again, THANK YOU to all of our amazing and brave applicants. We very seriously appreciate your interest in supporting WordCamp DC 2017 through speaking at the event. You’ll hear more from us soon!
