High fives and fist bumps for each and every person who took the time to submit pitches for this years’ community speaker spots!
Our selection committee read, watched, and researched, whittling things down to a shortlist of top contenders and then read, watched, and researched some more to determine if a potential speaker and their talk would be a perfect fit for the MozCon stage. We take lots of things into account during our review, but ultimately there are three main factors that determine our final selections:
-
Strength of the pitch (e.g., value, relevance to the audience, etc.)
-
Can the content reasonably be delivered in the time allotted?
-
Does it fit with overall programming and agenda?
After much deliberation, we settled on seven (yes, we added a seventh) community speakers that we’re confident are going to be a great addition to the MozCon Stage.
