I remember last November’s WordCamp Sacramento 2015 with a lot of warmth in my heart. New connections and great conversations began at the event that are still enriching my professional life today. It is great to see a powerful tech event like WordCamp gaining momentum in Sacramento, especially because it is created by and for the local community and serves WordPress users of all skill levels. <\/p>\n
Last year WordCamp Sacramento tickets sold out in just a few hours and people all over the state — and even out of state — were clamoring to come and participate. This year, with a new larger venue and two days of presentations, there will be even more opportunities to learn something new, build community, and create possibilities. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As someone who has been dedicated to helping young designers and developers get their start in the professional world for the past eight years, I can not express how thankful I am to the Bourns, the other organizers, and the whole community for making WordCamp possible.<\/p>\n
I am particularly proud of the members of our local WordPress community that spoke and presented last November, and I hope to see even more of our local community get involved and present at this year’s event. So head over to the Call For Speakers page<\/a>, look at some of the topic ideas, and submit something! I know there is a tendency to think, “I’m not good enough.”<\/em> But your experiences with WordPress are valuable, and we want to embrace users at every level!<\/p>\n Let’s build prosperity in Sacramento together for all of us! Good times are ahead!<\/em><\/p>\n — Bill Mead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WordCamp 2015 was a great start to WordCamp Sacramento.
