Who Should Apply?
Anyone with something interesting to share. WordPress is used by developers, designers, marketers, writers, freelancers, agency owners, teachers, and shop owners. If you make stuff, sell stuff, teach stuff, or learned a lesson the hard way, we want to hear from you.
You don’t need to know how to code or have presented somewhere before. We’re especially keen to hear from people in Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim, first-time presenters (we’ll help you along the way!), and women and non-binary people.
You can either speak in English or Nepali.
