As the first event of its type in the Queen City, Charlotte WordCamp is a conference on all things blogging. Why WordCamp? The conference is focused on Wordpress, currently the most popular blogging software. Registration opened up last week and is already 50% full. It is $15 to attend if you register before Oct 31. This includes a t-shirt and a light lunch.
Charlotte WordCamp is open to all interest levels. Whether you have never blogged before and want to learn the basics, or you’re a pro that wants to network, teach, and learn some tips, WordCamp will not disappoint.
Speakers on programming, design, content, and promotion will form 3 open discussion panels. We are also lucky to have one of the lead developers for Wordpress, Mark Jaquith, as our keynote speaker. The day’s events look like this:
