Call For Speakers! Woot!

002-20140511-P1030131-745x559-@2x-750x410

With our dates officially announced (Feb 19-21, 2016), we are opening up our call for speakers. All the information you need to know – including the link to submit a speaker proposal – is located here.  SUBMISSIONS HAS BEEN CLOSED

Our deadline is Midnight EST on Monday November 21st, 2015.

But before you rush to submit, keep reading…

We are making some changes to some tracks and workshops, and introducing new formats for sessions. Please read the submissions page carefully. Also read this insight into what our themes and goals are for WCMIA this year.

Also when submitting proposals: please assume at this time you will have 30 minutes for your session, plus some brief time to answer questions. Also assume your talk will be recorded, so you will have to sign a media release before giving your presentation.

Returning Speakers? Great. New Speakers? Even better.

We welcome back anyone who has attended and spoken at WordCamp Miami in the past – repeat speakers welcome! On the other hand, we are looking especially for those who might not have spoken at WordCamp Miami before – or perhaps those wanting to make WordCamp Miami their first speaking conference!

No Time To Waste – Submit Your Application

Because our event is happening in February, our window for speaker submissions closes before a major holiday near the end – Thanksgiving on Nov. 26th, 2015. (for those in the United States). Our advice is don’t wait until the last minute – submit your applications before approaching that week of Thanksgiving. Our plans are to start announce speakers right after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
