WPCampus 2022 will be looking for stories, how-tos, hypotheticals, demos, case studies and more for our annual in-person conference focused on WordPress in higher education.
Subscribe to our newsletter for updates.
As in past years, we’ll be looking for a variety of topics on anything that might bring value to our community. WordPress, higher education, and accessibility are key themes, but we want people to share on their own experiences in various arenas: accessibility, design, development, strategy, management, usability, governance, etc. Anything you’ve found valuable in contributing to higher education communities and/or the web.
Why present at WPCampus?
This event is a great opportunity for first-time presenters. If you use WordPress in higher ed, we’d love for you to share your work (and brains) with our community. Our call for presenters is not limited to those who work in higher ed as you do not have to be in higher education to bring value to our community.
If you’re having trouble finding inspiration or fleshing out ideas, start by checking out our Speaker Training videos. These videos may help get your vision into a submittable format. And feel free to share your ideas with us for feedback!
