Videos for all of WordCamp Denver’s 2016 sessions have now been published on WordPress TV.
Whether you missed a session you wanted to see, wanted to rewatch one, or even if you couldn’t make it out to Denver this year and wanted to see what you missed out on, all 22 session videos are now available for your viewing pleasure.
First a big thank you to all of the organizers, speakers, sponsors, attendees, and volunteers who helped create one of our best Denver events to date.
It was a great weekend and probably worth getting up early on your Sat. and Sun. mornings. But how do you get even more from WordCamp now that it’s over.
While it’s fresh in your mind we’d like to hear what you thought about this year and what you would like to see and do next time. The organizing committee really listens, so take 5 minutes to give us your input.
The real value of any event is found in what you do when the event is over.
If you haven’t already, write down some quick notes to capture the ideas, connections, and inspirations from this weekend. The notes you made may be overwhelming, that’s o.k.
Just pick one thing and do it.
That’s all it takes. Do just one thing. One of the recurring themes during the weekend is that imperfect action is better than no action.
I was asked on Sunday if there were closing remarks and we hadn’t planned on it. If we had gathered everyone together for a final thought, it would have been this message – take action.
Don’t think about it too hard, query, wp_query, ponder, procrastinate or ruminate – just do it.
Ultimately it doesn’t matter what action you take just that you take it.
But first let us know what you think.
See you at the next Denver WordCamp.
A big piece of having successful content at WordCamp Denver is continually being able to attract awesome speakers year after year by providing useful feedback to them about how they’re doing.
In fact, we happen to know that our speakers love feedback, so please take a moment for each presentation you attend and let them know how they’re doing. We’ve made an effort to keep the feedback form simple and short, limiting it to five or six questions only.
Was the talk cohesive? Were there any bumps that could’ve been smoothed out? Did you really get something out of the talk or feel like something was missing? General comments? All constructive feedback is welcome.
In our series of town-hall style sessions, we’re excited to bring back CritiquePress this year – a hybrid town-hall / panel discussion. Meg Delagrange and Sonja Leix are excited to give the audience valuable real-time feedback for designs the audience has submitted in advance.
The design critique of each website is based on the following categories: User Flow, Storytelling, Layout, and Accessibility. After the critique, attendees can ask questions related to the reviews or the topic in general.
Here are some additional resources Meg and Sonja have put together for you:
Design & User Experience
Accessibility
We’re just days away from WordCamp Denver 2016!
Organizers are in the final stretch of bringing it all together, including great speakers, amazing sponsors, a terrific venue, and details on all the conference happenings. We have an exciting line-up of information for all things WordPress and there will be plenty of sponsor booths with lots of swag. Did we mention that we’re sold out?!
We’re trying several new things this year we think you’ll be really excited about.
We wouldn’t be WordCamp Denver without our traditions. And this year we’re following up on that promise by bringing back CritiquePress, the real-time website critique session as well as the Community Help Lounge where you can get expert WordPress help and advice.
In a city known for craft beers, we’ve decided to offer an after party with a twist – Stem Ciders. It’ll be a chance to partake of some of Denver’s RiNo nightlife, whether you’re a drinker or not. The party starts Saturday at 7:00 p.m. and it’s a great chance to talk shop or not, make new friends, and enjoy some of their incredible ciders. No, really! Ciders!
We’ll see you Saturday morning. Registration opens at 8:00 a.m.!
Your WordCamp Denver organizers: Amber, Barbara, Corrinda, Drew, Gordon, Jeremy, Leah, and Patrick.
WordCamp Denver is over. Check out the next edition!
