WordCamp Dallas • 2009

I think that I am going to try to head over to Wordcamp Dallas this June.  Wordcamp is a 2 day conference dealing exclusively with WordPress.  This years event will be held at the University of Texas at Dallas (Richardson, Texas).

The dates for the camp are Saturday, June 27, 2009 (9:30am – 5:00pm) and Sunday, June 28, 2009 (9:30am – 4:00pm).  If anyone from Central Arkansas is going to be in attendance I would love to hear from you and meetup while there.

Over 250 bloggers and new media types from all over the Dallas/Fort Worth area and as far away as Germany made our first WordCamp a smashing success in March, 2008. Capitalizing on the energy and excitement of the event, we formed the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area WordPress Meetup Group that has since gone on to include nearly 200 members and is the 2nd largest WordPress Meetup group in the world!

This year, we’re moving WordCamp to the Richardson, Texas campus of the University of Texas at Dallas where we expect to have upwards of 300 attendees. The schedule remains to be finalized (Matt Mullenweg is sure to be there, though) and we’re still looking for sponsors and planning get-togethers around the event, but we are open for registration beginning today.

The cost went up some to $30 for both days, but you’ll get an official WordCamp Dallas 2009 t-shirt and be provided lunch both days. You’ll also hear from speakers with considerable WordPress and blogging experience provide information you can use to improve your blogs, and rub shoulders with like-minded people from all over the metroplex, all over Texas and all over the world.

Register your place now!
