Please join us in creating an interesting, inviting, family-friendly event. We’re expecting attendees of all ages with a wide range of experience and interests and hope for the same diversity in our speakers. No one is expected to be a professional speaker. We’re simply looking for generous individuals who are willing to share their hard-earned knowledge and experience to help someone else.
Remember, all presentations will be recorded and posted to WordPress.tv. In addition, speakers will be invited to a pre-event private dinner and receive a special “thank you” gift from the organizing committee.
Below is a list of some ideas to get you thinking, but please don’t limit yourself to these ideas. At the bottom is a form where you can apply. Applications must be submitted by end of day July 10, 2017.
