We’d like to send a huge thanks to Synacor for sponsoring WordCamp Buffalo and making this a reality. Sponsors are a very big and integral part of WordCamps because of how inexpensive tickets are to attendees in comparison to many other conferences. So we’d like to again thank them for the help, and make sure to check them out.

Various things have had our WC org team out of town for a few weeks, but we are back in full force and ready to dive back in!
We’ll be having our third official WordCamp Volunteer Meeting this Tuesday, August 14th, at 7pm. We’ll be meeting at MacGregor’s in Amherst. Please note the location change! All future meetings will be held at MacGregor’s, which Chris promises has a great beer selection.
We’re just about 2 months from the conference, so this meeting will be focused on handing out specific tasks, filling out gaps in coverage, and next steps. For those of you that have already committed to specific roles, I’ll be contacting you over the weekend to talk about to-dos.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
