July 15th, 16th & 17th
Hello all WordCamp 2016 attendees. In case you have not heard, we are having another WordCamp in 2017 on October 21st and 22nd! This year we are holding WordCamp NYC at Convene, located at 117 West 46th Street in Midtown Manhattan. Feel free to check out our new site to see all the details.
Tickets are on sale now and keep in mind that speaker submissions are available until Tuesday next week.
Looking forward to seeing you out there!
However, I believe that this year’s WordCamp NYC shall leave an indelible mark in the memories of ALL who attended and possibly on the WordCamp space as a whole.
Some of the highlights worth noting are the 12167 page views on this site for the weekend and fact that we achieve a sustained trending on Twitter.
We had over 150 contributor day registrations which is a feat that I have been told rivals the size of some WordCamps. However WordCamp NYC is not all about developers and designers. We have a strong user and administrator community as evident from the attendance on Saturday and Sunday during the regular sessions.
We as a community came together and bonded over WordPress and nearly the entire New York Open Source community. We worked with the other participating conferences like PyGotham and React and Angular and shared in the after party where ALL attendees had a chance to rub elbows, network and share in the camaraderie of open source software.
We even had a surprise lightning session presented by Andrew Nacin at the end of Sunday just prior to closing remarks.
Therefore as my term comes to an end, I look back on this WordCamp and contemplate all that has been achieved. The last three years with WordCamp NYC, prove that #WCNYC can be more than a biennial event and I would like to once again say thank you to everyone in the community; organizers, volunteers, speakers, sponsors, central mentors, the team at open camps, the United Nations and of course all of the attendees, for making this a truly outstanding event.
As we used to say in the Coast Guard;
We’d like to personally thank our Individual Sponsors for their kind contributions! If you see these gentlemen around the venue, be sure to thank them in person!
We’re very grateful for our Bronze Sponsors for all of your support to help make WordCamp NYC happen! Thank you so much!
We’d like to recognize our Copper Sponsors for their valuable contributions to WordCamp NYC. Thank you all!
We love our sponsors and we especially owe a big thanks to our Silver Sponsors! Thank you all, without you, WordCamp NYC wouldn’t be nearly what it is this year!
We’re incredibly appreciative to all our sponsors for helping make WordCamp NYC a reality this year, but a HUGE thanks is in order for our Gold Sponsors! Thank you to the following organizations for your generous contributions!
The rain has stopped and the registration has reopened.
If you have a security pass that expired 5:30 PM these passes have been extended to 7:30 PM.
Registration will close promptly at 7:30 PM tonight.
It will reopen again at 8:00 AM Sunday morning.
That’s right #WCNYC is actually trending on twitter right now at number four. Let’s tweet and share on twitter, Facbook, LinkedIn and GooglePlus once again:
We did it! Tickets have been sold out for WordCamp NYC.
Keep an eye out for volunteers with pink lanyards to help you get your UN security pass outside of the venue and to help you find your way to the event.
