Have Fun!

WordCamp is your conference. Even introverts should make a point to chat with other folks in the rooms, in the lobby, or in the food line. Just ask them what they do, and with the creative diversity of WordCamp attendees, chances are you’ll learn something new.

Every year at WordCamp, people exchange contact info, and connect later for coffee – and potentially profitable partnerships.
