If you have been waiting to buy your tickets, you don’t want to wait any longer! We have 70 people registered for WordCamp on November 14th, and have tentatively capped the attendance at 80.
We will be visiting the location on Tuesday to see how to accommodate more people without compromising the presentations, or making things uncomfortable or crowded. But don’t delay, as we may have to hold the line at 80 people for this first event.
We are absolutely thrilled to have Lloyd Budd from Automattic come to the event.
Lloyd has agreed to make himself available for questions in the student lounge for a couple hours during the day, and will be featured on The WordCamp Roundup at the end of the day.
For those who haven’t heard of Automattic, they are the company that operates WordPress.com, but they are also the silent genuises behind the whole WordPress revolution. Shhh.
Lloyd also blogs at A Fool’s Wisdom.
For those who haven’t been, a “Camp” is like a standard “Conference” in that it is educational, but unlike it in that it doesn’t need to be all that formal.
That said, many people like to know there is something “formal” going on, or they feel lost in the shuffle.
We’re offering both!
Yes, there will be a formal agenda for the day, with speakers, Q&A, workshops, panels, etc.
But there will also be “The Campout”, an opportunity for people to power up their laptops, connect in small groups and share their WordPress experiences with each other in an informal way.
Be Informal … Plan Ahead
While informal and impromptu is welcome on the day of the event, we also want you to have the opportunity to plan ahead. If there is something you really want to show off, demonstrate, discuss or otherwise conjure up, use the comments below as your “Campout” board.
Here’s how it will work:
We are very pleased to announce that WordCamp Victoria 2009 registration is now open.
A very special thanks goes to University Canada West for generously contributing the space for WordCamp! This contribution has allowed us to reduce the cost of the event to $40.
Speaker profiles are forthcoming!
See you on November 14th!
In order to provide the best possible event for the people who are interested in participating, I have prepared a little survey. It’s only 9 questions.
Your thorough and honest responses will go a long way toward making WordCamp Victoria 2009 a huge success!
Please only complete the survey once. Is there a question missing on the survey you think should be there? Please contact me or leave a comment below.
