WordCamp Miami

The 11th WordCamp Miami is happening March 15-17, 2019 at Florida International University. That means we are currently looking for speakers who want to get on stage and share their knowledge, and sponsors that can help make this event the best one in South Florida yet!

Miami is known for it’s warm sunshine and beaches (especially in February!) but also for it’s diverse population… therefore we are looking for a great and diverse speaker submission pool to reflect our local community. Both new and experienced WordCamp speakers are welcome to apply. If you’d like to propose multiple topics, please submit the form multiple times, once for each topic. WordCamp Miami is also the home of one of the largest Kid’s Camps, Learn JavaScript Deeply tracks, numerous workshops, and BuddyCamp – we can’t wait to share with you some exciting additions and tweaks to our lineup this year!

Our deadline to submit proposals is Midnight EST on Sunday January 13th, 2019. Apply at https://2019.miami.wordcamp.org/speaker-submissions/

WordCamp Miami is also looking for sponsors that can help with expenses. We are one of the larger events in the United States, with 1000 people attending last year! Be a part of the fun and help us with bringing a great experience in terms of food, networking opportunities, and some fun contests!

Add WordCamp Miami to your calendar and we look forward to seeing you!

Seeking Sponsorships: WordCamp Jacksonville 2019

Posted by on December 7, 2018 with Comments are off for this post

Demographics of WCJAX*

The 4th Annual WordCamp Jacksonville (WCJax) is part of an international group of not-for-profit conferences dedicated to making WordPress education accessible to all individuals. Every WordCamp speaker, organizer, and volunteer is donating their time to educate others about WordPress.

Demographics of WCJAX Attendees

*Based on numbers and projections from previous camps, we anticipate over 200 attendees, 84% of them being local to Florida and Georgia (46% local to Jacksonville area). We expect approximately 22% will identify as developers, 17% as business owners, and 12% as designers. Close to 40% of attendees will have been using WordPress for 4 or more years.

For the past two years WordCamp Jacksonville has always been on our must-visit list. The more intimate layout allows us to connect with more attendees that you don’t always get at other events. – Mike Demo, BoldGrid

Become a WCJAX Sponsor

Sponsors and Attendees NetworkingWordCamps rely on the sponsorships of businesses like yours to keep our conference pricing affordable. The mission of WordPress is to “Democratize Publishing,” and low-cost ticket prices are one way we further that goal.

WordCamp Cologne 2018 takes place in October

Posted by on September 27, 2018 with Comments are off for this post

WordCamp Cologne 2017 was almost a year ago and the Cologne WordPressers miss the community. That’s why it’s time for WordCamp Cologne 2018.

This year somewhat shorter, and than BarCamp, 250 WordPress enthusiasts will meet on 20 October 2018 at the HMKW Cologne to exchange knowledge followed by a networking party. And for those who aren’t satisfied yet, there will be the Contributor Day on Sunday, 21 October 2018.

On Saturday we have room for 28 sessions in 4 rooms. One session is 45 minutes long, including questions and answers. And as usual with a BarCamp, you are asked here after the introduction round to offer your sessions.

The sessions will be proposed on the day of the event. Anyone can suggest a session on a topic that interests them. This can be a lecture, a discussion, or a workshop. The sessions with the most interested people get a slot, i.e. time and space. This ensures that what you are interested in really works. And we are sure that there will be interesting topics for everyone – from beginners to professionals.

The first tickets have already been sold, so you should get your tickets quickly, because we only have a limited number of seats available! You can find out everything else on the website of WordCamp Cologne 2018.

P.S.: To make such an event possible, we need volunteers and sponsors.
