Call For Speakers

For WordCamp the Netherlands we are looking for speakers! This year, #WCNL will take place on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 September in Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem. We expect more than 400 designers, developers, entrepreneurs, marketeers and bloggers with a passion for WordPress, from the Netherlands and beyond.

Speakers are now invited to apply!

Format and guidelines for presentations and workshops.

We’d like to present an engaging and interactive programme. Therefore, we’ve put together 3 formats:

Deep dives

This year we have two themes that get extra attention in our program: page-builders and e-commerce. With page-builders we mean either WordPress’ own Site Editor, but also Elementor, WP Beaver Builder and everything inbetween.

Besides that we’re looking for speakers with experience in e-commerce within the WordPress ecosystem. Do you have a cool WooCommerce case-study, or have you found a way to create fantastic ordering forms? Then we’d like you to come and show us on the stage of #WCNL!

Main Track

If you do not have a deep dive about page-builders or e-commerce, don’t thread! We’re still looking for a wide variety of talks and workshops, specifically for the main track that aims to please a wider audience.

What kind of speakers are we looking for?

It doesn’t matter how much experience you have. We think everybody has something to share. We have speaker mentors available for speakers with little or no experience who would love to help you prepare.

We are looking for presentations and workshops that are well presented as a story, take a deeper dive into a specific topic or technique, while keeping the audience engaged. After the conference, we’d like visitors to be enthusiastic about exploring new techniques, company strategies or get (more) involved in the WordPress community.

Already thinking of something great? Apply now via the form below.

Application deadline

Please let us know in which language you prefer to present (Dutch, English, both). If you speak both Dutch and English, we choose the language based on the programme. We strive to find a good balance between Dutch and English talks, where the preference will be Dutch.

Feel free to apply more than once if you have multiple ideas. We will choose the application that fits the schedule best. Please only fill out one application per form.

We’d like to receive your application before June 23, 2023. We will contact all speakers in the first week of July. And wait to buy a ticket! All approved speakers will get a free ticket to the event.
