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.

Have you read our advice and details about submitting talk or workshop proposals? Do you have more questions about the application and speaker selection processes?
