Free tickets for those who deserve it

Posted on by

For WordCamp this year, we've been fortunate to have a sponsor dedicate funds towards a very special cause. That cause is to give a deserving person a free ticket to WordCamp to inspire them about the web, technology and how they can use WordPress to achieve all that.

We're looking for someone young and ambitious that has a drive to learn. More importantly this person must not be able to afford a ticket to WordCamp and it would be even better if they come from a disadvantaged background. We're hoping that an opportunity like this can make the difference in a couple of people's lives and even allow them to take their new found knowledge and distribute it.

We really want these tickets to go to people who really deserve it, so please can you motivate the ticket for you or for someone you know (it can be multiple people as well) using the form below.







What is WordCamp?

Posted on by

WordCamps are conferences centered on the WordPress publishing platform. They are informal, community-organised events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everything is planned, paid for and attended by the local WordPress communities

Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other in over 150 WordCamps held all over the world throughout the year.

WordCamp is not limited to anybody in specific and should be attended by everyone who uses WordPress, and everyone who should use WordPress. This category includes bloggers, designers, developers, authors, marketers, SEOs, Businesses, Non-profits, photographers, realtors, consultants, entrepreneurs, etc.

We are planning our second WordCamp in Johannesburg and are really excited to make this year even bigger and better than last year.

Sessions are different every year and a diverse range of speakers and topics are on the agenda. Every WordCamp is unique but this year at WordCamp Johburg we’re planning a more practical workshop track or two on day 1 and day 2 will include sessions covering broader, industry-focused matters.

There are also a range of ways to get involved in this year’s WordCamp. Besides being a Speaker, you can also help cover costs and get more exposure by becoming one of our Sponsors or help with some of the more general tasks by Volunteering. Everyone is welcome to apply.

We highly encourage you to attend this year’s WordCamp Johburg and learn more about this awesome community.  To find out more about WordCamps in general check out the official WordCamp website.
