Submit your application
After submitting your application via the form below, you will receive a confirmation of receipt. The Didactic Committee, made up of our experts and consultants, reviews applications on an ongoing basis. This means it may take several weeks and/or months to receive feedback. The Speaker Team may contact you during the review process if the Didactic Committee needs further information about your proposal.
Your application is not accepted
If your application is not accepted, we will send you a notification. However, we will not be able to provide detailed feedback to everyone. Even if your experience and talk meet all the criteria, please remember that we receive thousands of applications each year and the available slots are limited.
Your application is accepted - towards WMF
If your application is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email from the Speaker Team to start preparing your slides.
To work on your slides, we will provide you with Guidelines and our Template. The Guidelines contain important rules you need to follow for preparing your slides; please read them very carefully.
You will need to send us the final version of your slides by the deadlines we provide, so we can upload them onto the stage/open stage computer where you will be speaking (you will not be able to connect your device).
Additionally, unless otherwise indicated, the slides will be made available to WMF participants in a reserved area after the event.
