Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

The organizing team would like to send a massive thank you to everyone for attending WordCamp Calgary 2015.

This year’s WordCamp was a fantastic day of great content, networking and community building for the WordPress community in Calgary. With a sold out crowd of 150 attendees, 3 full tracks of great content and an amazing after party we hope everyone left last saturday with some more great knowledge and ideas.

And as the organizing committee transitions into the decompression and wrap up phase, we have a few tidbits of information to pass a long.


Photos, Photos, Photos

Our photographer Reg Tiangha has posted all of his photos from WordCamp Calgary on to his Flick account. So have a look and relive all the great events from WordCamp 2015. Also show him some love by giving him a retweet and liking his photos on Flickr.

If you want to continue learning about WordPress, please make sure you support The Calgary WordPress Meet-up Group and consider joining a learning session through our good friends at The Chic Geek.

Also make sure you follow the other great tech communities in Calgary – such as our good friends at Pixels and Pints and YYC js.


Thank you to our volunteers

A massive, massive thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication for making WordCamp happen. Without our team of dedicated volunteers working the registration table, recording the sessions and running lunch this conference wouldn’t have been what it was.

So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!


Thank You to Our Speakers!

We also want to thank our speakers and panelists for not only giving up their time to prepare and give their presentations, but for also providing the top notch content to make WordCamp Calgary so great. Without our Speakers and Panelists we wouldn’t have had the content to make this day possible.

So thank you to:

  • Calin Yablonski
  • Chris Garrett
  • James T. Swanson
  • Jeffrey Kahane
  • Jennifer Feurer
  • Lindsey Wiebe
  • Marshall Stevenson

Three Reasons To Pick-up A Ticket For WordCamp Today

Besides the obvious answers of great content, fantastic swag, an after party and amazing networking opportunities – here are three reasons why you should pick-up a ticket to WordCamp Calgary today.

  1. To make things easier for catering and badge printing the team will be forwarding on official numbers later this week (Thursday May 21st). By registering early it ensures we have your food preferences order in and that you’re not one of those attendees with a hand written badge.
  2. Although we may take some registration at the door, we will still require you to purchase a ticket online [no cash tickets at the door]. So why not save yourself the headache by reserving a ticket before hand.
  3. Oh! And one last thing. There are also less than 20 tickets available WordCamp Calgary. So picking a ticket up before hand will guarantee a spot before we sell out.

Mark your Calendars for May 23rd – WordCamp Calgary is Coming.

We’re excited to announce that WordCamp Calgary is back again for a 3rd straight year!

This year’s conference will be another celebration of everything WordPress within the Calgary community. The organizing committee is working hard to produce a full days worth of great content and networking that will appeal to a wide range of audiences – from beginner content creators all the way to hardcore developers and everything in between. We’re all booked a full day event starting at 10:00am until 4:30pm at SAIT.

Tickets will go on sale Friday April 17th. But in the meantime, the team is reaching out to the local community for Volunteers, Local Sponsors and potential Speakers. We are planning three tracks of great speakers and panel discussions and we are also makings plans for a fantastic after party to wind up the day.

While we wait for tickets to go on sale, there are a few things that you can do:

We are incredibly excited for 2015 and can’t wait to see you down at SAIT. Stay tuned as we’ll be releasing even more information over the coming weeks.
