WordCamp DC is back in March 2020!

WordCamp will officially return to DC this spring. Mark your calendars for our next big event March 27-29th at the National Union Building.

If you took part last time, we hope to have you back! More details are now available on the new 2020 site. Check it out.

You can start getting involved in this year’s camp, today. We are currently looking for speakers, volunteers, and sponsors. Tickets will go on sale soon.

To get all the WordCamp news as plans are finalized, subscribe to blog updates on the 2020 site. (You will not be automatically added to any mailing list as a 2017 follower or participant.)

See you in March!

Tickets on sale now!

We are excited to declare that tickets for the first WordCamp DC are now available for purchase.

Register today!

Your ticket includes:

  • 2+ days packed full of programming. Our multi-track schedule will include talks on a wide range of topics for a wide variety of WordPress users, from design and development to strategy and content.
  • Saturday night after party. Meet, mingle, and celebrate with fellow campers in our beautiful venue after hours.
  • Sunday contributor day. Learn from experts and pitch in to improve the WordPress project.
  • Tasty food provided on-site. No need to go out for lunch, we’ll bring great DC eats to you.  
  • Swag. Of course you’ll get a t-shirt to add to your collection.

We know some of you will be coming from out of town, and we’re excited to show you our lovely city. We do not have an official hotel partner because there are many options in D.C. We’ll have more information on lodging options coming soon.

Call for volunteers — we need you!

Update: The call for volunteers is now closed.
Thank you to everyone who signed up!

As locally-organized, community-focused events, WordCamps are only successful thanks to a team of kind volunteers who give their time to make it all happen.

We are now looking for generous folks like you to volunteer during the first WordCamp DC.

Volunteers will receive:

  • Free, full 3-day ticket to WordCamp.
  • Invitation to our “Thank You” reception the night before Camp with speakers, sponsors, and fellow volunteers.
  • A great chance to meet awesome people in the community and see behind the scenes of a big WordCamp.
  • The contentment that comes with contributing. 🤗

There are a wide variety of jobs that need doing, from checking people in at registration and handing out t-shirts, to answering WordPress questions and offering advice at the Happiness Bar, to helping speakers set up and emceeing sessions, to taking photos and recording video of talks for WordPress.tv, to moving around tables and unpacking boxes — something for everyone.

Become a volunteer

If you’re ready to join the team, please fill out the form below. We’ll do our best to match assignments to your interests, though a little flexibility may be required. Expect to work at least 4 hours, but we promise to leave plenty of space in your schedule to explore the conference on your own.

Thank you in advance!
