Along with imbuing WordCamp with the spirit of Port Macquarie, two underlying themes will permeate the event: sustainability and mental\/physical health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
