Are you on the fence about attending WordCamp Philly this year, in the market for some exceptional code written by some of the best minds in the WordPress community and yet, inexplicably, not yet a member of the DevPress community?
Then have we got a deal for you!
That’s right, all WordCamp Philly attendees will be receiving 1 year DevPress memberships for the low, low price of free. As a part of your #WCPhilly attendance, you’ll receive a special code that will entitle you to unfettered access to DevPress’ themes and plugins for an entire year.
So what are you waiting for? Head on over and register, already!
