One of the first things on our minds was finding the perfect voices for the stage. We were absolutely blown away to receive <strong>66 speaker applications<\/strong>\u2014a record! We&#8217;ve spent countless hours diving into these incredible proposals, and soon, our internal voting will determine who gets to share their expertise with all of you. Likewise, we&#8217;re also toying with the idea of a <strong>coding challenge<\/strong> to add an extra layer of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/files\/2025\/10\/ChatGPT-Image-Oct-1-2025-02_44_22-PM.png?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/files\/2025\/10\/ChatGPT-Image-Oct-1-2025-02_44_22-PM.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/files\/2025\/10\/ChatGPT-Image-Oct-1-2025-02_44_22-PM.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/files\/2025\/10\/ChatGPT-Image-Oct-1-2025-02_44_22-PM.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/files\/2025\/10\/ChatGPT-Image-Oct-1-2025-02_44_22-PM.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the hunt for our emcees is in full swing. We&#8217;re searching for charismatic individuals who can keep the energy high and the conversation flowing. Shoutout to those who have already stepped up to the plate. We&#8217;re also making a special effort to bring more female voices to the stage to ensure a balanced and dynamic lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors. We&#8217;re on a mission to secure more <strong>silver and bronze sponsors<\/strong> to help us bring all our ideas to life. If you know a brand that would be a great fit, send them our way! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Silver &amp; Bronze Sponsorship:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/call-for-sponsors\/\">https:\/\/malaysia.wordcamp.org\/2025\/call-for-sponsors\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The event logistics are coming together beautifully. We&#8217;ve got our team sorting out the final t-shirt designs and have already seen a fantastic response with <strong>340 prospects<\/strong> from the first round of ticket sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned, because as we finalize our speaker lineup and sponsorship details in the coming weeks, you&#8217;ll be the first to know!
