WordCamp 2008, San Francisco

August 15, 2008

WordpressOver the span of my career I’ve logged enough hours at conferences and seminars to have earned another college degree, and enough money has been spent sending me to pay for one.  And for all of the benefit (and fun) I’ve gotten from them (ok, most of them were fairly useless in terms of real benefit), none of them have rivaled the usefulness, networking or value that I got from attending WordCamp Dallas in March of 2008… for $20.

In fact, we gained so much from that event that it became the springboard for BlackBox Technologies.

For those not in the know, WordCamp is really a series of conferences about blogging, new media, social media, etc.. revolving around the use of WordPress, the open-source blogging/content management system that is used to run everything from individual blogs to sites like CNET.

So my business partner Martin and I decided to head out to WordCamp 2008, the biggie in San Francisco. The conference is one day and based on the quality of speakers and the value of WordCamp Dallas, we have high expectations for WordCamp San Francisco.  I look forward to taking back to our clients the latest and greatest in WordPress thinking, ideas, techniques and approaches that are sure to come from this conference in addition to learning what the future holds for this platform.

If you haven’t attended a WordCamp, look for one near you and think about going, even if you are not technical (many of the attendees are not). Otherwise, keep your eyes posted here for updates, links and other info from WordCamp 2008.
