Call for Speakers is now open!

The call for speakers for WordCamp Japan 2021 has been closed. Thank you very much for your many applications!

Hi, everyone!
I’m Natasha, and an organizer of WordCamp Japan 2021.

We have opened the Call for Speakers for WordCamp Japan 2021 which will be held in June 2021 online.

This time everything will be online, so we would like you to join us even if you are in a country other than Japan. 

One of the reasons why many people join WordCamp is that the participants are able to learn from the interaction with people from all positions related to WordPress.

Please don’t just get more knowledge that you know well already but also listen to the topics other than that. You will be able to find out more opportunities to develop yourself.

We hope to share a chance equally, which can connect friends all over the world, by sharing as many opportunities as possible with those who have never spoken at WordCamp.

Speak your experience and things you are really good at by all means. We want to make WordCamp with you.
