Thank You for the Overwhelming Speaker Submissions to WordCamp Malaysia 2025!
Wow… what an incredible ride!
The Call for Speakers for WordCamp Malaysia 2025 has officially wrapped, and we are blown away by the response. From seasoned developers and educators to creative entrepreneurs, community leaders, problem-solvers, and fresh new voices, you showed up big.
A Huge Thank you to every single person who took the time to submit a talk, share an idea, and believe in the power of open knowledge.
This year, we witnessed an inspiring wave of creativity and diversity in speaker applications. From first-time storytellers to industry leaders with years of experience, every proposal carried the same heartbeat: a desire to share, inspire, and empower the WordPress community.
A Global Stage for Shared Voices
WordCamp Malaysia has always been about community, not hierarchy. It’s where seasoned professionals and fresh thinkers meet on the same stage to exchange insights, challenge ideas, and celebrate learning.
The volume and quality of submissions this year reaffirm that WordPress continues to unite people from every corner of the world developers, designers, content creators, marketers, educators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers alike.
We’ve received submissions from across Malaysia and beyond, from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, Johor, and Sabah, all the way to neighboring countries across Asia and even Europe and the Americas. This truly reflects what makes WordCamp special: it’s a global event with a local heart.
Topics That Inspire and Transform
Reading through this year’s proposals has been nothing short of inspiring. Speakers have explored topics that push the boundaries of creativity and technology, from AI-powered content workflows and accessibility in design to advanced development practices, security strategies, community building, and personal growth within open-source careers.
The diversity of ideas reflects the ever-evolving WordPress ecosystem, where every innovation opens a new door. What moved us most was how many applicants weren’t just talking about “what” they do, but “why” they do it. Passion, purpose, and people-centered storytelling were at the heart of so many submissions.
The Selection Journey Ahead
Now comes the exciting and challenging part: selection. Our Speaker Review Team will carefully evaluate each submission to create a balanced and inclusive lineup that reflects both local talent and international perspectives.
It’s not about choosing “the best” in isolation but curating a program that connects ideas, encourages conversation, and celebrates collaboration.
If your proposal isn’t selected this time, please don’t be discouraged. WordCamp thrives because of its community, and there are many ways to stay involved attending sessions, volunteering, contributing to discussions, or simply being part of the WordPress family that makes this event special.
Gratitude from the Entire Organizing Team
To everyone who hit “submit,” thank you. You didn’t just send a form; you offered your voice, your experience, and your story to the community. That courage and generosity are what make WordCamp possible.
We’d also like to extend our gratitude to those who shared the Call for Speakers, encouraged others to apply, or mentored first-time speakers. Your support helped amplify the spirit of inclusion that defines the WordPress community.
See You at WordCamp Malaysia 2025!
We’re counting down the days to WordCamp Malaysia 2025, where every talk, panel, and hallway conversation will be a reminder of why this community thrives. Together, we’re shaping not just an event but a space for learning, sharing, and belonging.
To every aspiring and seasoned speaker who stepped forward this year: thank you for believing in the power of your story. We can’t wait to listen, learn, and celebrate with you soon in Malaysia!
Bring your ideas, your questions, your WordPress spirit — and see you at #WCMY25!
