We'd love to hear your Enqueue 2025 talk proposals
To have the best chance of getting a talk accepted, please take a couple of minutes to read this page to get a sense of the audience and what we're looking for. CFPs are open now and close July 31st midnight AEST.
Who you’ll be speaking to
Enqueue attracts an engaged, technically minded audience. You'll be speaking to engineers, technical leads, designers and technically minded folk working in and around WordPress. They come from agencies, publishers, enterprise teams and startups. They care about quality, performance, accessibility, editorial workflows and modern front-end practices. Whether your talk is about code, culture, scaling teams, performance wins or lessons from the trenches, what matters most is that it’s grounded in real experience and offers useful insight.
What we’re looking for
We’re especially interested in talks grounded in real-world experience, technical depth and practical insight. Whether you're part of an in-house digital team or an agency delivering client solutions, we want to hear what you’ve learned building and running WordPress at scale.
Below are some of the themes we’re particularly keen to include. You don’t need to stick to this list — but it gives a sense of the conversations we know the community is hungry for.
