WordCamp Salt Lake City is looking for speakers and sponsors!

Posted by on August 22, 2019 with Comments are off for this post

WordCamp SLC is back after a hiatus last year and we’re looking for everything!

The Salt Lake City WordCamp has had consistent growth since we got our start as WordCamp Utah in 2010. Our last WordCamp SLC, in 2017, was our biggest ever with more than 200 registrations. This year’s WordCamp will be October 12 at Impact Hub, an awesome community focused co-working space that shares a lot of the same values as the WordPress community and recently hosted this year’s OpenWest conference.

Salt Lake City is a booming tech hub and being in the heart of downtown SLC is a perfect venue for an amazing WordCamp!

Apply to speak, sponsor or volunteer, and please spread the word! #WCSLC

Can’t wait to see you there!

As a melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Indian and international cultures, KL boasts a dining experience as eclectic as its skyline as well as amazing cultural experiences like Masjid Jamek, Thean Hou Temple and the awe-inspiring Batu Caves. A little further out and you will find beautiful white sandy beaches, relaxing highland resorts and many more.

WCKL will take place at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel in the Golden Triangle – the shopping, entertainment and commercial hub of the city. Located next to the Berjaya Times Square Mall, the hotel is easily accessible by public transport, ride-sharing and is within walking distance of many popular hotels.

Come meet the WordPress community in KL

Like the city, KL’s WordPress community is vibrant and dynamic. We have designers, developers, theme and plugin business owners as well as bloggers and media publishing the top websites in Malaysia.

WordCamp for Publishers 2019 is happening soon!

Posted by on July 15, 2019 with Comments are off for this post

WordCamp for Publishers is a community-organized event bringing together folks who use WordPress to manage publications, big or small. Our goal is to empower participants by coaching them on best practices and encourage collaboration in building open source tools for publishers. Anyone who actively manages a publication with WordPress will benefit from attending.

Schedule

Our schedule is up now and includes speakers from national media organizations, smaller publications, and agencies that work with media companies. 

This year’s schedule features:

  • A hands-on workshop on security training in newsrooms
  • Two sessions on bringing Gutenberg to editorial teams
  • An in-depth guide to creating robust newsletters
  • Lightning presentations on Newspack, managing site networks, and paywalls

What You Can Expect

We’ll have a main track of talks and panels that are 45 minutes each as well as a separate track of 90 minute in-depth workshops centered around topics that aim to provide actionable takeaways for publishers to take home. There will also be openings for our popular unconference sessions which attendees can self-organize at the event based on interest.

For folks that prefer the hallway track, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect with people from top media organizations. Take a look at our sponsors and make sure to say hello and grab some swag!

Social Activities

Of course, we also offer many opportunities for socializing outside of the conference at WordCamp for Publishers. We’ve arranged several events, including an evening of fun and games at Two Dollar Radio Headquarters and an outing to a Columbus Clippers game. 

If you’re able to stick around all three days, there’s also a Mentorship Day on Friday where we’ll group folks by topic and introduce speed mentorship rounds for attendees to connect with each other. This is a great opportunity for attendees to lend their expertise and learn from other talented folks attending the event.

Get Your Tickets Today!

We encourage you to check out the videos and participant recaps from the last WordCamp for Publishers in 2018 to get a sense of what’s to come. We hope to see you in Columbus in a few weeks, and if you haven’t gotten a ticket, you can still get one today!

WordCamp Taipei 2019 is looking for sponsors!

Posted by on July 9, 2019 with 4 replies

This is the second WordCamp Taipei, and Taiwan community has grown a lot since last WordCamp. We used to have 3 monthly meetups in Taiwan and now we have 12! We are eager to meet with people from other regions.

WordCamp Taipei 2019 will be held on December 28th. We know it’s close to the New Year, but hear this out:

  • stay for the New Year! Tallest building Taipei 101 is well known for extraordinary fireworks and light show.
  • you won’t be hungry at nights. We have night markets in every city and convenient stores almost on every street.
  • Do you work remotely? Most of the coffee shops have Wifi and friendly working zone.
  • Taiwan is a small island, but we have big hearts!

At this moment sponsorship packages are running out quickly. Fortunately, we still have a few lefts. Our primary goal is to provide vendor spaces for all sponsors. In last year’s survey, we had feedback that attendees would like to see companies that provide WordPress managed hosting, plugins or themes as a service. However, any company which works with WordPress is welcome!
