2016 Johannesburg WordCamp has come and gone…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I for one, am proud to have been associated with the successful launch of South \/\u00a0Southern Africa’s second WordCamp with and together with my colleagues from WordPress Gauteng, WordPress Joburg, WordPress Pretoria and WordPress East Rand, I applaud your efforts, participation and support\u00a0and as many delegates and speakers have tweeted – “You guys rock!”<\/em><\/p>\n

From here, we can only grow as WordPress enthusiasts from 2016 WordCamp network and support each other and with great strides in innovation and entrepreneurship blossoming here in Africa, we should\u00a0see increasing numbers\u00a0of WordPress users\u00a0from township and urban areas eventually follow some of the paths of the large media houses who presented their case studies and reasoning of why they chose WordPress to power their brands to millions of Southern Africans.<\/em><\/p>\n

All of this made me feel good – knowing that I’m part of a movement of providing meaningful content that hopefully, benefits the people of this land.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you again to everyone that participated in 2016 Johannesburg WordCamp – the organising committee, the volunteers, the speakers and all of the delegates who\u00a0spent a couple of days with us to share their knowledge and experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

2017 Johannesburg WordCamp… here we come!<\/em><\/p>\n
