It seems like most people who’ve heard of WordCamp automatically assume that it’s a conference only for WordPress developers. In reality, it’s a conference that focuses on EVERYTHING WordPress. It appeals to a wide audience from casual users to freelancers, project managers to designers, and even business owners. It’s a great environment to learn, share ideas, network, and get to know the movers and shakers in our amazing WordPress community.
As a business owner I am constantly looking at new ways to produce the best possible product or deliver the best possible service, for the least amount of effort, and the most amount of profit. That’s why we started experimenting with WordPress back in 2014 – from a business perspective, it just made sense.
However, we had a problem. We didn’t know all that much about WordPress, or how we could use it to grow our business. It’s for these exact reasons I attended my first WordCamp in Cape Town back in 2014, and I’ve attended, spoken at, volunteered or co-organized every WordCamp since.
What kept me coming back? The benefits to me, my business, and my staff are endless.
It covers so many diverse topics.
Yes, there are developer-focused Workshops and Talks, but there are also amazing Workshops and Talks about Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media, Design, Remote Working, Managing Clients and Projects, and so much more. Whether you’re a freelancer, an employee or the boss, I can almost guarantee that there will be a topic from which you can learn from and/or discuss with other likeminded people dealing with the same issues you are.
It’s the best event to networking with likeminded people and grow your business.
Whether you’re looking to have a product developed, for new developers to hire, for partners to outsource to, or if you’re just looking to meet some of the most influential people and companies in the WordPress community – both locally and abroad – then WordCamp is the conference for you!
It’s cheap! The rewards far outweigh the costs.
At only R500 per ticket, WordCamp is by far one of the least expensive conferences out there. Nowhere else will you find so many amazing Workshops, Talks, Individuals and Companies coming together for two full days for such a low price. Not only is the conference inexpensive, there’s a driving range and food and drinks are included.
