WordCamp Vancouver Archives

WordPress wouldn’t exist without the WordPress community, and WordCamp is where the community comes out to play. Over the past two years I’ve had the honour of being a co-organizer of WordCamp Vancouver (WordCamp:Developers in 2011) and in that role I’ve met a lot of very interesting people.

WordCamp conferences focus the attention on leaders in the WordPress community, both local and international, but as any attendee will tell you, the attendees can be just as interesting. To put this to the test I geared up and interviewed random WordCamp Vancouver attendees for my podcast. It all started with a simple ice breaker: “Tell me a story about WordPress”.

If you are one of the thousands of people in Vancouver that use, work with, or interact with WordPress in your work life or private life, you need to attend WordCamp Vancouver coming up on October 13th, 2012. The event, hosted at BCIT’s campus in Burnaby, has speakers, workshops, and presentations that will blow you away and give you a whole new understanding of WordPress and what it can do.

WordCamp Vancouver is for everyone and you will find something for you whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. More importantly WordCamp Vancouver is an excellent opportunity to meet and interact with other WordPress enthusiasts, designers, developers, bloggers etc.

This is especially true for beginners: If you are just starting out with WordPress, attending WordCamp Vancouver will be the best decision you made (after deciding to use WordPress of course). I’m not saying that because I’m an organizer, I am saying it because it’s true. Ask anyone.

Tickets for WordCamp Vancouver 2012 are $25 per person and include coffee, lunch, snacks, and the conference itself of course.
