“Uniting the Developer and Business Communities with WordPress.”<\/h2>\n
If you would like to be a speaker at WordCamp Las Vegas<\/strong>, here\u2019s what you\u2019ve gotta do:<\/p>\n That\u2019s about it. We like to keep it simple. Each year WordCamp Las Vegas<\/strong> strives to offer a wide variety of talks and discussions about a variety of subjects relating to WordPress – whether you are a developer, designer, small business, content creator, internet marketer, or super-user, we’re looking for you! We’re looking for people who are excited about sharing their knowledge of using WordPress.<\/p>\n If you’re interested in speaking, please read the following guidelines and fill out the form below to submit your topic!<\/p>\n Presenting at WordCamp Las Vegas is a great way to show off how smart you are about your knowledge of WordPress, thereby making everyone else attending WordCamp Las Vegas smarter about how they use WordPress.<\/p>\n The ideal speaker has a WordPress-related topic they are passionate and informed about that they can present with coherent slides and explanations. You don\u2019t need to be a professional speaker – but you do need to be comfortable presenting. You could have two hundred people hanging on your every word, so make sure you\u2019re comfortable speaking to a crowd, and make sure you know your stuff.<\/p>\n All proposed presentations will be reviewed by our speaker committee. The evaluation process looks at speaker qualification, uniqueness of content, recent discussions in social media concerning the topic, past speaking experience (though not a requirement), and content applicability to WordPress users. We strive to showcase local talent but all proposals are encouraged.<\/p>\n Developer, in regards to WordPress, can mean almost everything under the sun related to the creation of a WordPress web site. Developers have a wide knowledge of coding standards, project management, back up procedures as well as staying up to date on the latest design trends. There are many different ways that a WordPress web site can be configured, designed and executed.<\/p>\n The Developer track will feature plugin development, subversion control, developing your site for the latest version of WP (3.9.1 & 4.0 and beyond), and user testing. We\u2019d like to know how our speakers this year handle things when it comes to keeping the client happy, as well as meeting your deadlines in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n Here are some of the possible topics we\u2019d like to cover in the Developer track:<\/p>\n Designer, in regards to WordPress, can mean almost everything related to the user interface of WordPress web sites. If you are an expert in the look and feel of WordPress websites, show the community.<\/p>\n Whether using your WordPress site as a vehicle for marketing your business, as a blogger, or a combination of both all users should have some working level of their site. We are offering attendees the option to attend the Beginner User or Intermediate User sessions, which will be tailored to your knowledge level.<\/p>\n Here are some of the possible topics we’d love to cover in the user\u00a0track:<\/p>\n It’s one thing to have a beautiful-looking, functional WordPress blog, but it’s another thing to get your target audience to find you in search engines to engage with you and your content. The more that your target audience finds you, the more authority you show in your field which can lead to more clients, more readers, and possibly more income.<\/p>\n The Business \/ Internet Marketing \/ User track will be a curated selection of presentations that will provide best practices and practical tips and tricks for increasing engagement between your readers and your WordPress sites.<\/p>\n Here are some of the possible topics we’d love to cover in the business track:<\/p>\n\n
