There\u2019s 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\u2019d say a laptop\/tablet isn\u2019t actually necessary and can even be cumbersome to lug around all day and could hinder your ability to socialize and network.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smartphone<\/li>\n<li>Laptop<\/li>\n<li>Chargers<\/li>\n<li>Pencil and a Notebook in case the other items die on you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Pro WordCamper Tips<\/h4>\n<p>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\u2019re new and just coming into it, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s unlike most other communities you\u2019ve been a member of. So jump on in, the water is fine!<\/p>\n<p>That said, to get the most out of a WordCamp is simply to partipate<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a new friend. Say \u201chello!\u2019 Lots!! Meet new people, talk about what you do and ask questions! People love questions! I\u2019ll even tell you how I keep my hair just-so.<\/li>\n<li>Find a friend who\u2019s going to be there. Carpooling is the bees knees<\/li>\n<li>Ask questions of your speakers<\/li>\n<li>Download speakers\u2019 presentations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Bonus Tip<\/h4>\n<p>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\u2026 If you see a sponsor or a speaker at the event, be sure to give them a quick \u2018thank you;\u2019 they, along with our attendees and speakers, make these events possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s almost here, party people.
