How come school was never this much fun? Or, put another way, why would over 600 people skip their well-deserved weekend to stream into classes they weren’t required to take?

Clearly something else was going on here. It might be going too far to call it magical. But it was pretty special. You were there. You felt it too. That’s what it’s like to be part of a community.

In the days ahead, we’ll all digest the lessons, and explore the resources we found out about. In the months ahead, we’ll continue our education and community engagement at local WordPress Meetups. And in the year ahead, we’ll make plans to attend other WordCamps, including WordCamp Atlanta 2019 next spring.

Til then, the WCATL organizers want to thank everyone for bringing and sharing their unique perspectives. Together, we all embody the creative diversity that’s at the heart and soul of the WordPress world.
