Talks are where ideas come to life, where mistakes turn into lessons, and where everyday WordPress work becomes something others can learn from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With WordCamp Slovenia 2026 approaching, we\u2019re opening the Call for Speakers and inviting the community to help shape a full day of learning, discussion, and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever thought <em>\u201cmaybe I could talk about this\u201d<\/em> \u2014 this is your sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8e4589684d711fe93bf0e6dea432f043\" style=\"color:#2f6e5a\"><strong>Speaking at WordCamp Is About Sharing, Not Perfection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordCamp Slovenia is a community-run event, built around openness and inclusion. Talks aren\u2019t about being a \u201cguru\u201d or having all the answers. They\u2019re about sharing real experiences: what worked, what didn\u2019t, and what you learned along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you work with WordPress every day or occasionally, whether your background is technical, creative, or business-focused \u2014 your perspective can help someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First-time speakers are more than welcome, and you won\u2019t be left on your own. The organising team will support you before and during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c13286fdc67409ba9b13389d8245cbd7\" style=\"color:#2f6e5a\"><strong>Why Consider Speaking?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving a talk at WordCamp Slovenia is a chance to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>turn your experience into something useful for others,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>become more involved in the local WordPress community,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>meet people you\u2019d otherwise only know online,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>grow confidence in presenting and sharing ideas,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>contribute to an event that\u2019s built by the community, for the community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most memorable talks come from practical examples, honest challenges, and stories from real projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-afebe8a68c20ce28416175c9a00dd8a3\" style=\"color:#2f6e5a\"><strong>Topics We\u2019d Love to See<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re keeping the topic scope broad on purpose.
