WordCamp San Francisco is getting closer, and we’re working our way through all of your nominations and proposals. While the selection process is still active, we’re excited to have confirmed our first group of speakers.
You’ll recognise many of the names from around the WordPress community; they speak at WordCamps, blog about WordPress, build WordPress websites, and create the software that we all know and love. It’s just a few months until they take the stage at WCSF.

Watch this space for more speaker announcements over the coming weeks!
This is a great selection of worthy initial speakers; should be a great event!
Looks like another great lineup for this year’s San Francisco WordCamp. Looking very much forward to it.
Looks great – looking forward to visiting. When do tickets go on sale?
Hmm, looks suspiciously similar to the WordCamp NYC lineup. 😛 Of course, that’s because they’re all great speakers, though!
