Description
The speaker application form for WordCamps blocks people who aren't logged in with their wordpress.org account. This is a major conversion rate block for getting enough speaker applications. Not everyone has a wordpress.org account cause sometimes people from outside the WordPress community want to give a talk at a WordCamp about more general topics, like the GDPR, marketing or SEO.
See this page (make sure you are logged out of wordpress.org)

Hi @Buxert, I just researched the reasoning behind requiring the login on the speaker application form, and it turns out that this conversation has happened a couple of different times in the past:

If you still want to change this after reviewing the above discussions, I would recommend making a new post on the Community P2. Here's some guidance on how to do that:
