WCUS to Hold Speaker Office Hours Part One: Picking a Topic for Your Submission

Have you ever hesitated to apply to speak at WordCamp?

If so, you’re not alone.

Picking a topic can be daunting. WordPress is diverse and growing. While a good problem to have, it makes choosing the right topic so much more difficult and can be a major roadblock, whether you’re new to WordCamps or a veteran speaker.

However, the WordCamp US programming team is here to help!

Join them Saturday, May 16, at 11am CDT/12pm EDT for Part One of two Interactive Office Hours dedicated to helping you pick a topic for your talk. How to Pick a Topic will walk you through:

• 4 different types of talks you could give
• Who the audience is for WCUS
• Broader recommendations to consider when brainstorming your topic as well as specific prompts that can help
• Narrowing your ideas
• Finally, writing out the answers to Who, What, Why, etc.

And remember, this is an interactive session. Come prepared to discuss your ideas and ask questions of the friendly, helpful volunteers.
