Perks of Attending a WordCamp

Every year all around the world, WordCamps are attended by people who want to learn more about WordPress. At the end of 2013, almost 20,000 people had attended a WordCamp since they began in 2006.

So you may be asking yourself “What would I get out of it?”.

Perks of Attending WordCampKC

  1. It is one heck of a deal.
    WordCampKC is $40 for a day of learning, food, fun, and a lot of really really good networking. If you want to pay a lot of money for that then we can point you to some in KC, but we love being the best bang for your buck!
  2. WordCampKC is filled with local support and speakers…
    We will have some items for you from our local sponsors so that you get a chance to experience the city that is on everyone’s “next big thing” list. If you’re local, then make sure to connect with all of our amazing, KC-based speakers!
  3. …but we also attract some big national talent.
    We will also have some speakers from Nebraska, New York, and Oregon. Come out and show them what all this Midwest, Google Fiber lovin’ hospitality is about!
  4. We are open to all levels of experience.
    Everyone started somewhere. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never installed a WordPress site or if you’re supporting a portfolio of 50 clients, you are welcome here. We have attendees who started at zero, but are now making a living doing what they love with WordPress. Come learn about WordPress, learn about people, or just connect to your technology tribe.
  5. We have raffles.

Raffles!?

Yes, we have items to raffle. For your $40 ticket, you will be entered into a drawing for an iPad Mini (plus case), a Lynda.com prize pack, and multiple KC Local Prize packs. Your name is removed once you win something and you do have to be present to win, but that should be easy since you’ll be doing all that learning and fun-having already!

What are you waiting for?! Go buy your ticket and get your learn on!
