 WordCamp Auckland returns 2-3 November

Posted by on October 23, 2019 with Comments are off for this post

WordCamp Auckland 2019 is happening at the GridAKL John Lysaght Building in the heart of New Zealand’s Auckland City on 2 – 3 November. WordCamp Auckland has two days of speakers with an intimately small capacity, making it a relaxed and close-up WordCamp.

We only have space for 80 tickets. Click here to get your ticket.

Something truly unique

There is something unique to WordCamp Auckland, that is a traditional Māori hāngī meal prepared deep in an earth oven from West Auckland and brought to our venue for lunch on Saturday, so attendees will get to experience something truly unique.

New Zealand will be in full hype mode with the Rugby World Cup final playing that weekend, so the venue and after party are situation in Victoria Park Market, just a 10 minute walk for attendees to take part in all the action Auckland City nightlife will put on.

Our speakers and attendees come from all across New Zealand and even the New Zealand’s West most island of Australia. Bringing with them a range of world views, topics and experience to share with all of us at WordCamp Auckland.

After party @ Tom Toms Victoria Park Market

Tom-Tom’s rooftop restaurant may be familiar to attendees from WCAKL17, but being nice and close to the WordCamp, means those who can make it – can spend a few hours leisurely seeing Auckland downtown after Day one and rejoin us for food, drinks and conversations.

Topics and talks

Our topics this year range from Becoming an Open Source contributor, Block editors and Hosting with a couple of panel discussions thrown in for good measure. View the full schedule here.

Our day two schedule is designed to be a little more relaxed, and allow an early close to allow everyone to enjoy their Sunday afternoon.

Nomnoms or eats

We’ve already mentioned a traditional Mãori hāngī will be Saturday’s lunch, but Sunday will be catered by local Italian Pizzeria Toto’s, who serve pizza by the metre – homemade baked eats will keep us nourished during the morning and afternoon tea breaks, supplied by Hearts Content in Coatesville.

We’re only missing you…

Can’t make it? Share the word

If you know anyone interested in WordPress, who might be interested – please share this post with them, we’d love to share #WCAKL19 with as many people as we can, we think it’s truly a special event.

WordCamp Guadalajara 2019 is looking for Speakers and Sponsors!

Posted by on September 2, 2019 with 2 replies

 

In October 26th and for the second year, the WordPress Community Guadalajara wants to celebrate it’s existence as a community, bringing this event format to the city for the first time. In the last +5 years, Jalisco has stood out not only for its traditions, mariachi and tequila, but also for the enormous technological growth that has emerged in the region, what has taken Guadalajara to be known as the “The Mexican Silicon Valley”. This has led to more and more Startups, agencies and entrepreneurs using WordPress as their preferred platform and that month after month we share knowledge through our monthly Meetups.

Side to side with Mexico City, we have grown to be the second largest Meetup and now the second largest WordCamp from all Mexico.

Connect with the Mexican community!

WordCamp Guadalajara 2019 will be held at the amazing space of MIND México expecting +200 attendees this year.

MIND is the innovation ecosystem that unites the triple helix, being the starting point of ideas and projects that involve the student, the entrepreneur and public institutions, giving rise to agreements, international alliances with technology centers, presence in leading design events, innovation and technology, as well as innovative projects that are formed from different perspectives of those involved.

MIND – México Innovación y Diseño

If you want to get to know about our traditions and our growing tech industry but most of all, get to know our warm people, don’t hesitate to apply to speak or sponsor, and please spread the word! #WCGDL

Can’t wait to meet you in Guadalajara!

¡Muchas gracias! <3

Getting Kids In Your Community Excited to Learn WordPress!

Posted by on August 27, 2019 with Comments are off for this post

The WordPress Community events program has some awesome things going on including WordCamps, Contributor Days, do_action events, and even KidsCamps. It’s an exciting time to be involved in the WordPress community, and children are attending more camps now than ever before. But WordCamps, while family-friendly, weren’t necessarily built with kids in mind.

We want to help your local camp create a fun and inviting event for all ages. KidsCamp is a great way to do that.

If you are looking for ways to involve the kids of your community, we have a few ideas. First, hold a KidsCamp at your next WordCamp. We have resources ready to go and soon a handbook will be launched. We even have mentors that can help you get your camp off the ground in the first year. The focus of this event should be to create a self-hosted WordPress website. We even have hosting companies that have donated hosting accounts for this very purpose ready and waiting to work with you. Email kids@wordcamp.org to get your resource packet.

Another way to get kids involved is to hold kid-friendly meetups, or meetups for kids and parents. Remember, whenever children 13 and under are involved, parents need to be present with their kids. Holding a kid-friendly meetup is a great way to keep kids working on the websites they create at KidsCamp. It allows them to have accountability in the projects they are working on and surrounds them with industry leaders to look up to. Not sure about where to start? No problem! Email kids@wordcamp.org to get a resource packet and if you need one, a mentor.

As our community is slowly aging, now is the perfect time to usher in the next generation. Today kids need safe, fun places to engage and learn new skills and there is no better time than now and no better place than the WordPress community!
