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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

WordCamps<\/a>\u00a0are casual,\u00a0volunteer<\/strong>\u00a0organized conferences that focus on WordPress. Each WordCamp is a bit\u00a0different, 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!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
