Ask me anything about speaker applications and the selection process

WordCamp Europe 2019 takes place in Berlin on 20-22 June, and the Call for Speakers and Call for Workshops are open until 7 January 2019.

Tips and guidance for your submission

The Call for Speakers and the Call for Workshops opened in October 2018 and since then, we’ve received applications from around the world. There’s still time to submit yours!

The deadline for applications is 7 January 2019, after which the selection process will start, and the Organising Team will focus on designing a programme that features great content!

Last year, we received 374 talk proposals from 216 people, then narrowed applications to just 52 sessions that formed the final schedule for WordCamp Europe 2018 in Belgrade. Read how the selection process worked last year.

Although many of you are expert speakers, we think it’s important that we explain, in detail, what we take into consideration when choosing talks and workshops for WordCamp Europe

Encouraging equality on stage

Encouraging diversity at WCEU

 Diversity and inclusion at #WCEU

Introducing the theme: Street art

Introducing the visual theme of WCEU 2019

How we chose the visual theme for #WCEU 2019

WordCamp Europe is hosted in a different city in Europe each year, meaning there is an annual opportunity to refresh our take on WCEU, putting a new spin on the established brand.

Each year, the Design Team (a sub-team in the wider WCEU Organising Team) carefully chooses colours, fonts, graphics and a compelling theme that runs through the visual representation of the upcoming year’s edition of WCEU.

For 2019, WCEU is hosted in Berlin, Germany, and our theme is: Street art!
