“I don’t know anything about code! What’s there in a WordCamp for me?”
We’re glad you asked!
It’s certainly true that WordCamp D.C. will have amazing developer talks from some of the top minds in the WordPress world, but it will also have tons of great presentations on content, design, business, and strategy that are such a vital part of the WordPress community.
We have a number of case studies planned from the government and nonprofit sectors such as “Decentralized Content Strategy for the National Park Service” and “The Andy Warhol Museum Website Redesign.” We have talks from thought leaders on search engine optimization, social media, and “How to Build a Popular Blog and Master WordPress Even If You’re a Liberal Arts Major.”
And if you want to try something a bit more technical like “How to Understand & Use HTTP Without a CS Degree,” well, we got you covered there too!
“Will I have time to talk to people outside of the sessions?”
We call this the Hallway Track. Whether it is between sessions or during a time block where you are “free,” the opportunity to network with other designers, social media experts, business owners is stellar. Strike up a conversation with someone at lunch; you may find you have more in common outside of WordPress than you imagined!
“I’m not a developer yet, but I’m looking to learn. Is that possible?”
We’re all about that. All day Sunday we’re holding workshops for people looking to break into the developer (and business) space with introductions to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more. We’ll also have talks throughout the conference from novice to expert and everything in between.
WordCamp D.C. aims to cover the breadth of the WordPress universe, so come join us. Even if you don’t know your loop from your template tag, there’s still going to be lots of great content for you!
