I just want to say how thankful I am for everyone who participated in this WordCamp. It was a great experience and I’m grateful for the opportunity to hear from people about the experiences they had at this camp. I told many people that what makes all this all worthwhile to me is knowing that on Monday morning hundreds of people are going to apply new ideas to the work they do, WordPress related or otherwise.

I heard a lot of cool stories about what people have gone through to get here, both physically and with WordPress. It was very neat to hear that several people from Ashville met at this camp and were inspired to continue getting together once they got home. I enjoined hearing from the owner of a development shop that had brought 5 people to camp. They split up and attended sessions in the user, design and development tracks and all said that they had new things they were planning on working on next week.

There were a lot more stories like this that made being involved with this WordCamp so rewarding.

We couldn’t do it without our volunteers.

These are the people that served on the organizing Committee. We all had teams of people working with us. Thanks to each and every one of you.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we’ve posted the schedule for both day. Of course it is subject to change.

If you’ve been waiting to get your tickets until the schedule is posted, I encourage you to get one right now. We only have about 100 tickets left.

We have put together a great lineup of presentations this year. We’re excited to have a little something for everyone. The sessions are divided into the following four tracks: Beginner, User & Content Strategy, Design, Development. We’ll cover a wide variety of topics from how to write your first post to advanced search engine optimization, responsive design to transients!

We know this year is going to be great and hope that you’ll enjoy these topics!

We’re working hard to plan another great WordCamp in Atlanta. There are a lot of details that need to be attended to and at the moment we aren’t quite ready to make the big announcement. We’ll have more information after the new year. In the meantime please if you subscribe to our mailing list, we’ll notify you when more information becomes available. Thanks!
