The organizing team would like to send a massive thank you to everyone for attending WordCamp Calgary 2015.

This year’s WordCamp was a fantastic day of great content, networking and community building for the WordPress community in Calgary. With a sold out crowd of 150 attendees, 3 full tracks of great content and an amazing after party we hope everyone left last saturday with some more great knowledge and ideas.

And as the organizing committee transitions into the decompression and wrap up phase, we have a few tidbits of information to pass a long.

Photos, Photos, Photos

Our photographer Reg Tiangha has posted all of his photos from WordCamp Calgary on to his Flick account. So have a look and relive all the great events from WordCamp 2015. Also show him some love by giving him a retweet and liking his photos on Flickr.

If you want to continue learning about WordPress, please make sure you support The Calgary WordPress Meet-up Group and consider joining a learning session through our good friends at The Chic Geek.

Thank you to our volunteers

A massive, massive thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication for making WordCamp happen. Without our team of dedicated volunteers working the registration table, recording the sessions and running lunch this conference wouldn’t have been what it was.

So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

We also want to thank our speakers and panelists for not only giving up their time to prepare and give their presentations, but for also providing the top notch content to make WordCamp Calgary so great. Without our Speakers and Panelists we wouldn’t have had the content to make this day possible.

With less than 24 hours until WordCamp Calgary kicks off, we figured we would post a few things to do to get you excited and ready.

1. Familiarize yourself with our schedule and plan out your day.
2. Explore the archives of WordCamp.TV to get a feel for all the great content you’ll be exposed to on Saturday.
3. Make plans to enjoy a tasty beverage at the after party at Loco Lou’s.
4. Start warming up those tweeting fingers and get to know the Wordcamp Hashtag – #WCYYC.
5. Review our Code of Conduct so everyone has a wonderful time at WordCamp.
6. Show some love to our wonderful sponsors who make WordCamp Calgary happen.
7. Follow us on Facebook, so we can send you any last minute changes.
8. … and of course rest up. It’s going to be a fantastic day.

Besides the obvious answers of great content, fantastic swag, an after party and amazing networking opportunities – here are three reasons why you should pick-up a ticket to WordCamp Calgary today.

1. To make things easier for catering and badge printing the team will be forwarding on official numbers later this week (Thursday May 21st). By registering early it ensures we have your food preferences order in and that you’re not one of those attendees with a hand written badge.
2. Although we may take some registration at the door, we will still require you to purchase a ticket online [no cash tickets at the door]. So why not save yourself the headache by reserving a ticket before hand.
3. Oh! And one last thing. There are also less than 20 tickets available WordCamp Calgary. So picking a ticket up before hand will guarantee a spot before we sell out.
