Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we’ve decided to extend our speaker application to midnight on December 9th, 2016. Click here for our speaker application form, but first check out our suggestions and guidelines to make your application the best it can be!

Although we’ve extended the deadline, starting this weekend we are officially reviewing applications already accepted. If you haven’t had a chance to submit your speaker application, do so as soon as possible so that WordCamp Miami has time to send any feedback to you before time runs out.

If you know someone – especially if they are in the Florida area – that hasn’t spoken at WordCamp Miami before and you think might make a great speaker… we are also extending nominations. Click here to fill out the “reverse call to speakers” form.

Call For Sponsors!

Our call for sponsors has officially opened!

We have been extremely fortunate to have been supported over the past years by generous sponsorships – everyone from large corporates to individuals. Sponsoring to WordCamps like Miami’s is giving back to the WordPress community. But many sponsors at WordCamp Miami go beyond than just showing up and giving funds – many take an active role in the event itself both in front and behind the scenes.

Every year we are proud to offer reasonable priced sponsorship packages for a large event like WordCamp Miami (much of this is because of our gracious hosts at Florida International University).

Please click here to view our sponsorship packages. If you are a business that can donate or offer items like materials or food, please reach out to us and we might be able to offer a discounted sponsorship package.

You can reach out to us via our contact form. Package availability is on a first come, first served basis.

WordCamp Miami 2017 Dates Announced

We have great news regarding our ninth WordCamp Miami – it will be held at FIU on March 24-26, 2017. We are also proud to confirm that once again Ptah Dunbar will be stepping up as our lead coordinator this year!

We have been in the early staging of planning for the past month, and we can’t wait to share with you what we’ve got planned. Some ideas, concepts, and workshops from previous years are being carried over but also several fresh new concepts as well.

If you don’t want to wait and book travel way in advance (at least in WordCamp terms) you may already begin by looking at the same hotels we recommended last year (we have some hotels on our location page).

Our call for volunteers, sponsors, and speakers will happen shortly so watch for those announcements. Here’s the best ways to keep updated:

  1. Join our public Slack channel.
  2. Join over 1000 already on our mailing list.
  3. Follow us @wordcampmiami on Twitter.
