- We look for speakers that are experienced, yet we also look for young or new speakers as well.<\/li>\n
- Being a professional speaker is not\u00a0required. In your speaker\u00a0submission, let us know how your talk can\u00a0relate to WordPress or the WordCamp Norway\u00a0audience.<\/li>\n
- Your session is not to promote your own theme, plugin or business. If your session is to detail how you used WordPress code to build some really great aspect of your theme, plugin or business, and you\u2019d like to present that as a sort of case study, go ahead and submit your session, but know that we\u2019re not going to allow for a sales pitch at any point.<\/li>\n
- You have to know how to spell WordPress. And respect the WordPress logo\/trademarks<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- You can submit multiple speaker submissions for different talks.<\/li>\n
- Please be prepared to submit speaker slides or review your presentation with a WCNO organizer prior\u00a0to the event if asked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Selection Process:<\/h2>\n
All selections and submissions are collectively reviewed by our organizers. We cannot accept all submissions, and in fact the majority are not\u00a0selected. Factors we look for in presentations are the degree of uniqueness and popularity of the topic, the speaker qualifications and experience (past speaking experience is not\u00a0required though, since we do have first-time speakers at WordCamp Norway), hometown of speaker (we try to keep a certain percentage of speakers local), and other factors. If your submission is not accepted we will notify you although we might not be able to personally respond to each submission or applicant.<\/p>\n
Finally, there\u2019s been a lot of talk about variety of speakers at technology conferences. Our general policy is that we don\u2019t consider the race, sex, religion, or any other factor of the speaker to play a part in our selection process. That being said we encourage women and people of color to submit session proposals. EVERYONE has a story and you can reach out to us privately at\u00a0norway@wordcamp.org<\/a> if you have any questions \u2013 please consider submitting a proposal!<\/p>\n
