Call for Speakers for WordCamp Lira 2024
I am the team lead for WordPress Lira 2024, I am writing to invite you to apply to speak at the upcoming WordCamp Lira 2024, that shall take place at Lira Town College. Please note that WordPress Lira 2024 shall have two tracks, namely, Springboard Track (for teenagers, beginners) and Runway Track (for professionals, advanced users of WordPress). Speakers can apply to speak at both tracks.
So, if you are working in the tech space, this is an opportunity for you. The advantage here is that we are not limiting you to talk about certain topics. In most WordCamps, you choose and submit your topic, and then describe what you are going to talk about. That means you have absolute freedom to choose what to talk about. However, all attendees, including speakers, and volunteers must at all times uphold and embrace and the event code of conduct.
We expect all sponsors, volunteers, speakers, attendees, and other participants to help us realize a safe and positive conference experience for everyone.
Although we welcome applicants from across the country, we will be particularly excited to receive applications from our own local communities – Lira, Gulu, Soroti, Arua etc. Just like me, I know many of you have never been to a WordCamp. I therefore believe that WordCamp Lira 2024 will full of those who are attending for the first time. I have already received several news from Soroti people who intend to come and take us by storm. I am also encouraged by the Gulu youths, who say that for them, it will be Yoo Leng.
But we also expect the senior people from the WordPress community in Uganda, the likes of Arthur Kasirye (WordCamp Entebbe), Rogers Mukalele (WordCamp Jinja), Moses Ssebuwufu (WordCamp Masaka), and Laurence Bahiirwa of WordCamp Kampala. For WordCamp leads, we shall give them special treatment.
Overall, we expect that the speakers will come from across the country, of course we shall consider the gender aspect, and equally give women opportunities to thrive at the WordCamp. I am also apply to speak at the Jinja WordCamp 2024.
Right now, the organizing team is busy working in order to make sure that the attendees, have a great time. So, complete the application today, or share this with your friends. Thank you.
