Welcome to Halifax’s 2nd WordCamp: the only WordPress conference east of Montreal! We’re excited to be back to offer another amazing day of all things WordPress, at a fun and accessible event. This un-conference is perfect for new users right up to web professionals. You’re bound to learn something new, or share your knowledge with someone else.
WordCamps are casual, volunteer organized conferences that focus on WordPress. Each WordCamp is a bit different, but all share a similar goal: to provide an accessible opportunity for people to come together and discuss WordPress, learn from each other, network and have a great time doing it!
A successful WordCamp depends on volunteers, who graciously donate their time and energy many months before the main event to deliver one amazing day. Make sure to give them a hug when you see them.

The Happiness Bar is a special activity at WordCamp where local and visiting WordPress experts offer complimentary help and advice to attendees who come to the Bar with questions. We’re serious! Get help with basics like using the dashboard, feedback on your design or content, how-to’s to finish your nagging to-do list, or just about anything else you want help with.
The WordPress Halifax Meetup
WordCamp Halifax originates with The WordPress Halifax Meetup. WordPress enthusiasts get together once a month to hear a presentation about WordPress, share information and resources, and have a bit of fun. Join us. We now have two groups: the main Meetup for users (beginner to advanced) and the Developer Meetup.
