I wish to be considered as a Speaker at your conference this May. I have never applied before but I know that I am a good fit having been working with WordPress software for over seven years.

Having gone through your list, I wish to indicate my interest in the following areas;
1. What are WordPress User Roles
2. Security, privacy, legal issues related to online presence
3.Site Checklist for Healthy Sites

I am currently work as an IT manager for a Lagos based Radio station and handle WP projects by the side.

Let me know if I am suitable for this assignment.

Many thanks
