Diversity Makes WordCamp Europe Stronger—We Need YOUR Voice

At WordCamp Europe 2025, we believe that the true strength of the WordPress community comes from its diversity. The project thrives when voices of all backgrounds, cultures, and experiences come together to share ideas, challenge norms, and inspire growth. This is why we’re committed to creating a speaker lineup that is as vibrant and inclusive as the global community it represents. If you’ve ever felt your voice wasn’t heard or your story didn’t matter, we’re here to tell you—it absolutely does.

We know that diversity comes in many forms: ethnicity, gender, age, ability, professional background, code editor and more. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or stepping onto the stage for the first time, WordCamp Europe wants you. Your unique perspective could provide the inspiration someone else needs to learn, build, or achieve something incredible. Representation on stage doesn’t just benefit attendees—it empowers others to see themselves in places they may not have imagined before.

Imposter syndrome is real, and many people hesitate to apply because they believe they’re “not qualified enough.” But let us assure you—your experience, no matter how big or small, matters. Whether you want to present a technical talk, a workshop, a story of overcoming challenges, or a fresh approach to using WordPress, your contribution can make a meaningful impact. We specially encourage individuals from underrepresented groups in tech to step forward. First-time speakers are welcome too, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.

WordCamp Europe is more than just a conference—we aim to be a celebration of community, collaboration, and connection, but we can only do this if we have a diverse pool of applicants to choose from to form a lineup that reflects the people who make WordPress what it is today: a tool that empowers millions worldwide. Your voice has the power to enrich the event and inspire others, whether they’re joining us in person or tuning in from across the globe.

The call for speakers is open until January 31, 2025, so don’t hold back. Now is the time to embrace your perspective, your ideas, and your story. Apply to speak at WordCamp Europe 2025, and let’s build a stronger, more inclusive WordPress community together.
