It&#8217;s up to you to decide what to share, but we&#8217;re looking for talks that will fall within our four tracks:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Content\/All Users<br \/>\nDevelopers<br \/>\nFront End\/Designer<br \/>\nBusiness<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Talks will be allotted 45 minutes, plus time for Q&amp;A. You can adjust the talk time if you incorporate Q&amp;A during the presentation.<\/li>\n<li>Speakers will be offered free admission to WordCamp Asheville 2015 and get to attend a speaker dinner, but since we&#8217;re a nonprofit we can not reimburse travel, lodging, or other expenses.<\/li>\n<li>As a disclaimer, all sessions will be video taped. You will need to sign and return the A\/V form prior to speaking.<\/li>\n<li>We encourage multiple submissions from the same speaker. If you have more than one idea, go ahead and submit multiple topics and we&#8217;ll get back to you with which one we think will fit best with the final schedule. You&#8217;ll need to submit a form for each presentation idea. (If you submit multiple topics, but have a preferred one, just make a note for us when you submit the form.)<\/li>\n<li>You will be contacted as soon as the committee has made a decision about the presentations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>[Submissions are now Closed]<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Applications are being accepted May 16 &#8211; May 31<\/strong> so don&#8217;t delay, get your submission in today!<\/p>\n<p>Be a good friend, and send this to someone you think might make a great WordCamp speaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordCamp Asheville is now accepting applications for speakers for this summer&#8217;s conference!
