Hey! WordCamp Sofia will be held in October 22th, 2016 and is looking for Speakers. We accept submissions for talks in Bulgarian and English. The talk time is going to be 30 minutes + 10 minutes for questions.

We are looking for the following subjects:

• Blogging! It's been awhile since the last time we had blog related talks, and we are looking for bloggers interested in sharing success stories :-)
• WordPress development
• Contributing to WordPress and related open source projects
• PHP, plugin development, theme development, speed, containers, virtual machines
• JavaScript, single page apps with WordPress, React
• Digital Security, Privacy, Legal problems related to online presence
• Business, working with clients
• Design, UI, UX
• Тime management / Dealing with stress / Distributed work
• Testing
• Content creation
• Anything else you'd find appropriate for a WordCamp.

Keep in mind that the talks will be presented in front of a camera and a crowd of awesome people. We'll ask you to sign an A/V release form.

Applying with more than one topic highly increases the chance that you'll be accepted. It's very common that several speakers apply with the same topic and we struggle to find who to cover other areas. First time speakers are welcome if you have interesting story to share and are willing to prepare early.

We would like the presentations to be ready and emailed to our Speakers Team at least 2 weeks before the WordCamp. We'll provide assistance in the preparation, if you need it. We all know the urge to postpone the preparation until the last night, but talks are better when prepared well.
