It’s almost here, party people. WordCamp Maui is just around the corner! It’s going to be a glorious event and minds will explode; friendships will be born and much will be learned.
To help everyone get ready for what’s going down this weekend, I’ve made a list of things to note:
Your beautiful brain and yourself of course! There’s going to be a ton of content to cover and while you may find that you want to bring all of your electronics, you really only need to bring your phone and a notepad; I’d say a laptop/tablet isn’t actually necessary and can even be cumbersome to lug around all day and could hinder your ability to socialize and network.
What makes WordPress such a great platform really is the community that drives it. Anyone who is a part of this community will tell you as much. If you’re new and just coming into it, you’ll find it’s unlike most other communities you’ve been a member of. So jump on in, the water is fine!
That said, to get the most out of a WordCamp is simply to partipate
Participation in WordCamps events, for attendees, sponsors, speakers and volunteers, is an elective endeavor. People participate for a variety of reasons: to learn; to connect; to give back; to share… If you see a sponsor or a speaker at the event, be sure to give them a quick ‘thank you;’ they, along with our attendees and speakers, make these events possible.
It took us 53 days to sell out the first ever WordCamp Maui. That is a wee bit longer than it took our friends at WordCamp San Diego yesterday. Your organizers are all very excited though to be hosting all these fabulous attendees for the first ever WordCamp Maui.
We have an amazing two days planned for you:
Check out these speakers!
Check out these Friday tracks!
Check out these Saturday sessions!
How excited are you?
If you missed out on tickets, watch this page (see below for why), subscribe to blog post updates by email in the site sidebar and keep an eye on @WordCampMaui . We make no promises but if we’re able to release a few more tickets it’ll be announced there.
If you purchased tickets and have changed your mind, you’re crazy! However, if something’s come up and you just can’t make it you can refund your ticket by following the link that came in the email titled “Your Ticket to WordCamp Maui”, doing this will release those tickets immediately back to the waiting masses.
