\"IMG_8611\"We’re very excited to have received so many bold and interesting\u00a0applications so far for WordCamp Bucharest!<\/p>\n

The call for speakers<\/a> is still open, but we couldn’t resist letting you know about some of the great proposals we were happy to announce right away.<\/p>\n

\"alexandra<\/p>\n

We have\u00a0Alexandra Draghici<\/a>,<\/strong> coming from Timisoara, Romania, who\u00a0is going to challenge the common knowledge about WordPress SaaS plugins.\u00a0If you google \u201eturn a SaaS into a plugin\u201d, you will get the vice-versa result. Plugin developers consider going SaaS more often than SaaS people think about launching a plugin. But building a plugin is a quicker and more fruitful way of reaching the users of a specific platform, like WordPress.<\/p>\n

In her\u00a0talk,\u00a0Turning a SaaS into a WordPress Plugin,<\/strong>\u00a0Alexandra will be sharing her learnings while\u00a0turning the established\u00a0SaaS business\u00a0123ContactForm<\/a>\u00a0into\u00a0CaptainForm<\/a>, a new forms & survey WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n

\n

Our next speaker comes from Belgrade, Serbia and he is one of the community’s most charming\u00a0members – chances are you’ve seen him crowd surfing at various WordCamp after parties.<\/p>\n

\"MilanMilan Ivanovic<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is going to talk about how to\u00a0Change your theme, but, keep your business.\u00a0<\/strong>He will share his story on developing a new theme for\u00a0ManageWP<\/a> and how they did this from scratch. You will learn about the\u00a0whole process from early stages to the final switch: how they\u00a0had to go easy with the changes, the slow process of updating UX and how they\u00a0needed to lead\u00a0the\u00a0clients into a new design. and all the stress, pressure, and high feeling after everything was\u00a0done!<\/p>\n

\n

\"Vali<\/p>\n

If you are from\u00a0Romania, chances are you’ve stumbled on Vali Petcu<\/strong><\/a>‘s Zoso.ro blog<\/a>. But did you know Zoso<\/a>‘s\u00a0site is running on\u00a0WordPress since 2005? During this time he learned\u00a0lots about the platform’s vulnerabilities and strengths.<\/p>\n

Come hear his talk 11 years with WordPress\u00a0<\/strong>from a full time\u00a0blogger and freelancer dealing with web strategy, guerrilla marketing, content creation and journalism.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have more great\u00a0proposals\u00a0on the list (spoiler alert) coming from\u00a0developer masterminds, WordPress agency leaders and\u00a0digital marketers. In total, there will be 14 speakers at WordCamp Bucharest 2016 rocking the stage.\u00a0If you are looking to join, the call for speakers ends on August 31st. So you can still apply here!<\/a><\/p>\n

The tickets are also up for sale, so you can go get’em<\/strong><\/a>! Remember to book your calendar for October, 8-9th.<\/p>\n
