I’ve heard a ton of good things about the experience of attending a WordCamp for WordPress users. And, as luck would have it, there’s one rolling into town in January 2011. There are still approx 25 tickets available for the event at a discounted rate of $25 each. So, if you haven’t registered already, now is the time to do so!
According to the official site for WordCamp Phoenix 2011:
The point of WordCamps is to celebrate this open tool by teaching people how to use WordPress, how to bend it to their will, and even how to leverage it as a business- and to do it all for about the price of lunch.
WordCamp is organized and run by unpaid volunteers, underwritten by sponsors, and profit free. Remaining funds are donated to local charities. Volunteers in any city can create a WordCamp to benefit their community and in Phoenix, people are particularly passionate about WordPress.
So, if you are a fellow developer or WordPress user, and you’re located within the Valley of the Sun, I’m looking forward to meeting and networking with you all!
