If you’re passionate about a particular topic that you’d like to share with the WordPress community, we encourage you to submit a proposal through our call for speakers submission form.

Speaker Announcements

In the weeks leading up to the event in October, we will be introducing a few speakers at a time right here on this blog. Be sure to subscribe for updates using the form in the sidebar. We are excited to announce our next few speakers:

Michael Whelan, Lew Krehnbrink, “Theming WordPress with Timber”. Both Michael and Lew are developers at US Digital Partners, a digital marking agency in Downtown Cincinnati.

Brenda Pottinger, “Build Your Personal Brand and Sell without Selling”. Brenda Pottinger is the owner of Pottinger Photography, specializing in wedding photography. “What if you could stop time and hold it in your hand? I heard that I could have super powers when I was very young and that is when I knew I would become a photographer.

Jessica Garbarino, “So You Think You Can’t Video?”. Jessica Garbarino is the founder and owner of Every Single Dollar, a company dedicated to helping single women navigate the world of personal finance. She realized that she was experiencing a financial hangover in her early 30s after the lifestyle choices in her 20s caused her to rack up debt. After paying off $56,000 of debt, she felt called to teach other single women how to manage their money, pay off debt, and instill financial confidence. She offers individual financial coaching, speaks on personal finance, and writes and produces video on various financial topics with the single woman in mind. Jessica lives the debt free life in sunny South Florida.
