Want to know one of the best things about attending WordCamp?

Sure, you learn a lot and get to check out a lot of great sessions on topics from business and branding to design and development.

And, yes, the Happiness Bar is a great place to get your specific questions answered by those willing to help.

And, certainly, the swag offered up by the spectacular sponsors can’t be beat.

But, when you dig down deep and really dial into what makes the WordCamp experience so wonderful? You realize it’s the people that make it so!

People Power WordCamp!

From the dedicated crew who puts on the shindig, to the speakers who travel from far and near to share their expertise, and let’s not forget the exuberant and excited attendees, these events are all about community and making connections.

You’ll come away from your WordCamp experience with new friends, peers with whom you can possibly partner, and maybe even a mentor or two.

Why is this?

Because the WordCamp community is all about outreach, education and spreading the WordPress word.

Why WordCamp? Because We All Love WordPress!

When you get a core group of enthusiasts together, only good things can happen. Especially with the wonderful mix of people at these events. You can connect with designers, developers, hosting companies, the people that power your favorite plugins and more. We hear there might even be some ninjas at the event!

You’ll come away from the experience with new expertise, plenty of great ideas for future implementation and a handful, maybe even several handfuls, of new friends with whom to share your future WordPress endeavors.

Get in on the community action early!

There’s no need to wait until the event to start connecting. Jump into the conversation early by spending some time with us on your favorite social media channel.

We’re especially active on Twitter and Facebook. We recently launched on Instagram and we’ve set up some new collections on Google+, which we’re starting to fill with great reads and the latest WordPress news. We’ll even be on Pinterest soon. Don’t forget to use our hashtag: #WCATL!

Basically, we’ve got a presence wherever you like to spend time online, and we want to connect with you!

Come on! Let’s Connect!
