In the WordCamp keynote today, Zack Katz introduced the music video WordPress is People (Do the WordPress Wiggle).

The song and video were created by Jonathan Mann.

You’ve no doubt noticed that Sunday programming is small-group, hands-on workshops.

How is that going to work?
We have a room full of 8-person round tables. Each table will hold a single workshop – 1 instructor + 7 eager learners. (If the weather is nice, some of the non-technical, business-focused workshops may choose to move outside.)

All workshops run concurrently for 3 hours (9:00-12:00), so you may only attend one workshop.

Bring your laptop.

The caffeine is on us. (There will be coffee, tea, and water provided.)

How do you choose which one you want to attend?
Leah, our Co-Lead Organizer, is emailing all Sunday ticket holders, in order of purchase, and personally matching attendees with available workshops. So keep an eye on your inbox!

If you’re looking into amazing conferences to go to in Denver this August, you might be a little confused by the fact that there are TWO WordCamps happening on back-to-back weekends.

Yup, that’s right. There are two great WordCamp options you can attend, in Denver, in August.

We’ve got WordCamp Denver, and WordCamp for Publishers.
But which one should you go to? Or, should you go to both? We’ll help you decide!

We’re looking for WordPress experts who will be at WordCamp and are willing to spend an hour or two helping to answer questions at the Happiness Bar.

What is the Happiness Bar?

A place for people to come and ask their pressing WordPress questions. It is staffed by volunteers (as is the rest of WordCamp!) who graciously provide their expertise for free as part of bettering the WordPress community.

How Can I Get Involved?

It’s simple! If you can spare an hour during WordCamp on Saturday, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could spend it at the Happiness Bar. Please fill out the form below with interest, and we’ll get back to you as far as particulars:

Applications have closed–thank you!

WordCamps are an opportunity to get involved in your local WordPress community. You can talk with and learn from other freelancers, developers, designers, agency owners, etc. You can also learn the latest technologies from our local CO scene.

To do that we need members in our community to step onto a stage and share their story. You don’t need to have a special degree or credentials. You just have to have courage and a learning moment that you’re willing to share.

So we ran into a couple issues yesterday with our PayPal account wanting to display in Russian (thanks to all the dedicated people who emailed us immediately!). We do have this resolved now. If you see anything weird with PayPal when trying to purchase tickets A) try purchasing through an incognito window and see if that clears things up and B) if it’s still weird please contact us directly!!

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in August!

While we’re not ready for day-of volunteers quite yet, we are still looking to fill a few key organizing committee spots (because our lead organizers can’t do everything that hasn’t been claimed). If you’re truly interested in being one of the big gears in this thing, please contact Leah directly for more details!

Tickets are now available! We’ll be posting our schedule (all new this year) as well as speakers as those details become available in the coming weeks. If you know you want to come even if you don’t know what the details are, get your tickets now!

We’re happy to announce that WordCamp Denver is officially on the calendar!

WordCamp Denver will be August 26 & 27, 2017 at the University of Denver.

We’ll be keeping you posted on all the details over the coming months, including speaker submissions, ticket sales and more!
