What is a WordPress Camp? (WordCamp)

WordPress Camp, popularly known as WordCamp is an event which welcomes all the Tech Influencers, Bloggers, Developers and Designers of all kinds throughout the world. All the ones who wanna learn WordPress and other Web Techniques are also welcomed. This event is a get-together of all professionals in tech industry. If you’re a noob beginner, you are the most welcome because you’ll not be a noob anymore after you attend a WordCamp.

In a WordCamp, there are sessions hosted by voluntarily speaking experts who like sharing their experiences and knowledge to the WordPress community. You get a chance to share your knowledge with others and make your WordPress circle on social media. Everyone is an important part of the community including the beginners. Not only Talk sessions, but there are some Panel Discussions and some amazing activities throughout the day of WordCamp. You can learn new things and experiences by having a talk with speakers and the community. This is how your life changes and you become a self proclaimed WordPresser!

What benefits do you and the community get?

You’re a part of community and the benefit you receive is a gift from the community itself. The gift is pretty simple. Its Knowledge and Experience. Moreover,  there are some more interesting gifts you receive. Friends and Swags! Swag is something which is very popular in WordPress community.

But, the real advantage you receive is ‘Learning’. For which you join a WordCamp. This is something you’ll receive in every WordCamp. 😉

How was WordCamp started?

A view of WCSanFrancisco in 2006. The first WordCamp Ever!

The first WordCamp was organized in San Francisco by Matt Mullenweg in 2006, and since then local communities around the world have organized hundreds of others. 😀 Till the end of 2012, WordCamps became popular throughout the world. The first WordCamp in India was ‘Wordcamp India‘ hosted in Delhi in the year of 2009. Since then, many city-based WordCamps took place in India and the World. Thus, WordPressers got an exciting platform to develop themselves.
