Welcome to Halifax’s 3rd 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.
