Call for Proposals¶

Speaking at Write the Docs is a fantastic way to share your ideas with our welcoming community of documentarians.

If there’s something you’d really like to see a talk on this year, submit a proposal, or send the submission link to someone else you would like to hear from!

We’re looking for ideas and use-cases from all disciplines and roles, so whether you’re a technical writer, developer, UX designer, community manager, or support professional who cares about content and communication, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking for talk proposals to be delivered in-person, on-stage in Portland, on May 3-5, 2026.

New for 2026, we’re also accepting a limited number of pre-recorded talks from remote speakers, so if you can’t make it to Portland on May 3-5, 2026 you can still submit your proposal.

You can read our full Call for Proposals, and submit your talk on the website.

The Call for Proposals will be open until 11:59 PM January 19, 2026 PST, so harness that new year energy!

Sponsorship Updates¶

Our sponsorship prospectus is updated for 2026, with various improvements based on sponsor feedback.

Our sponsors are the folks building the tools and platforms that we use every day, and they help make Write the Docs conferences possible. If that sounds like your company, please consider joining us this year!

Tickets¶

Tickets will go on sale in December 2025.

In-person ticket prices are the same as last year:

• Student/Unemployed: $100

• Independent: $350

• Corporate: $650

Virtual tickets will be sold in a similar fashion with 3 tiers this year:

• Student/Unemployed Virtual: $50

• Independent Virtual: $100

• Corporate Virtual: $175

As always, we try to keep ticket prices low so that the event is accessible to the widest range of people. If you can’t afford the tickets and still wish to attend, we will launch our grants program at the same time as tickets.
