WordCamp is a low-cost technology conference for the free and open-source web publishing software WordPress – a platform that powers over 75 million sites on the internet. The conference is a volunteer-organised, educational event which reflects the interests and expertise of the local community.
The two-day event will take place during the Labour Day long weekend, on October 5 and 6 2019, and be held at the Port Macquarie Charles Sturt University campus.
Tickets are only $55 and include two speakers tracks with 20+ volunteer speakers across two days, and an afterparty event on the Saturday night for networking.
Along with imbuing WordCamp with the spirit of Port Macquarie, two underlying themes will permeate the event: sustainability and mental/physical health.
Where possible, we are sourcing vendors that integrate sustainable business practices (sponsors are encouraged to participate), and have introduced some talks that focus on health and wellbeing.
We selected the long weekend to give attendees travelling longer distances a rest day before returning to work, and provides travellers the opportunity of extending their trip and enjoying a working holiday in beautiful Port Macquarie.
ABOUT WORDCAMP
Since its inception in 2006, over 950 conferences have been held across 65 countries.
Everyone is welcome at WordCamp, and there’s always a mix of developers, designers, business owners, marketers, and students who attend.
Because the goal is inclusivity for all regardless of age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, income, or disability, the event’s ticket prices are heavily subsidised thanks to sponsorship.
