Are You Ready for WordCamp? WordCamp is Ready for You!
The flight crew announced the call for speakers (every flight needs some entertainment, right?). In keeping with the goals of our Pilots, we will be holding workshops to help those interested in becoming part of our WordPress community or playing a larger role in it.
Thinking about speaking?
Unsure if you have it in you?
Not sure about your content?
Just want to learn more?
This is a workshop for women who are thinking about speaking at WordPress events, such as WordPress Meetup and WordCamp. During this hands-on session, we’ll look at what has stopped you from speaking in the past — and explore how to move past your doubts.
We will discuss some common myths about public speaking, different talk formats, and we will focus on finding your areas of expertise (yes, you have areas of expertise!). We will brainstorm topics you can talk about at a WordCamp or other event.
Each participant will come out of the workshop with a WordCamp or Meetup talk idea — and more confidence to submit it.
***You do NOT have to have any experience in public speaking. This workshop is for all levels of experience.
This workshop is for you if:
>You identify as a woman.
>You’re not sure how to develop a talk about your topic.
>You’ve thought about speaking at Meetup or WordCamp but haven’t been able to think of a topic

Will this be broadcast? I live in Vancouver WA but would love the information. Thought about speaking about how to run a small web development company using exclusively WP. Been doing it for over 13 years.
Hi Dotty, video participation is a great idea. It’s very much a workshop with the group interacting together, but it’s been done with video by other groups. We didn’t plan for that on this module but if there is sufficient interest we may try to do it on the next one. Stay tuned for future announcements.
Your idea for a talk sounds interesting, I would attend that! I hope you submit it.
