Happiness Bar & After Party

We have a few last minute announcements:

We will be having a Happiness Bar! For those who do not know what a Happiness Bar is, it is kinda like the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. We will have experts available to help you with specific problems you might be facing. Come ask a few questions or sit down with a professional and go through each issue. Bring your laptops!

We are having an after party! Plan to make your way to Geekdom after WordCamp San Antonio for the official WordCamp San Antonio taco dance party! There will be drinks (including Alamo Beer), street tacos, a photo booth, a DJ, and plenty of camaraderie from 7:00pm to 10:00pm.

We look forward to seeing all of you on Saturday!

Thanks,

-Organizing Committee

Who should attend?

Everyone! No really, everyone! The event is on Saturday October 22nd, 2016 and will be a full-day of workshops, networking, and previewing new products and services from our sponsors (while grabbing cool stickers and t-shirts). Even if you don’t like any of those things, you get a cool t-shirt, swag bag full of goodies, and lunch for only $20.

Do I have to be a coder to get something out of the sessions?

Absolutely not! We will have three tracks: Beginner, Business, and Advanced, so no matter what skill level you are at, we have something for you. View our schedule to see the topics in each track.

Show me your references!

Not a problem! We had the inaugural WordCamp San Antonio last year and the community response was better than we could’ve ever asked for. Take a look at what people had to say:

Social says it all

Hot off the press

Check out this great article from the Rivard Report on the success of WordCamp 2015.

But it’s kind of far for me to drive.

We know, but Texas A&M University is a beautiful campus, and only a short drive from downtown San Antonio! Our schedule gives you a nice window in the morning (7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.) to get to the campus and get checked in, and the event will be done by 6 p.m. which gives you plenty of time to hit downtown for dinner. Plus: what else do you have to do on a Saturday? Come enjoy the fun!

Ok, I’m in!

First things first, grab a ticket here.

Then follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and join our San Antonio WordPress Meetup Group to keep up with the latest WordCamp news and updates.

WordCamps wouldn’t be possible without the sponsorship of companies who care about WordPress, and we are lucky to be supported by some great firms.

Jetpack can supercharge your self-hosted site with a suite of the most powerful WordPress.com features.

WooCommerce – the most customizable eCommerce platform for building your online business.

BoldGrid works on top of WordPress as a website builder to make the CMS more intuitive. Tedious tasks are now automated and the entire WordPress workflow is reimagined to save you time and frustration.

Did you know that Bluehost powers over one million WordPress sites? And did you know they sponsor every WordCamp in the whole entire world? Bluehost was the first company to sign on as multi-event sponsor when we debuted the program in March of 2013, and we’re so very grateful for their continuing support of this and every other WordCamp.
