WP Engine is grateful to the WordCamp Philly Organizers, and is proud to be able to support the local WordPress community. They would love to have you stop by the WP Engine booth on Saturday to meet you and learn about what you’ve built in WordPress. They are also offering all the attendees of WordCamp Philly a free account for life on WP Engine. You heard that right, WPE is giving ALL WordCamp Philly attendees FREE HOSTING FOR LIFE!

And there’s more!

What if you’ve seen the WP Engine team at a previous WordCamp, and already have one of WP Engine’s classic (and now discontinued) T-Shirts? That’s awesome! They would love to see you again and hear how your sites are doing and what your latest projects involve. They also have a gift for you. Everyone who drops by the WP Engine booth  at WordCamp Philly wearing a vintage WP Engine t-shirt, will receive a VIP gift (while they last) as a thank you for being a part of our family and choosing our hosting platform.

We would like to give a huge THANK YOU to WP Engine for not only sponsoring WordCamp Philly, but for also hooking up all our attendees with so much awesome, free stuff! Please be sure to stop by the WP Engine booth at WordCamp on Saturday to thank them for all they do for the WordPress community!

Good news, everyone! WordCamp Philly 2012 is coming (and, speaking as an organizer, coming up quickly)! Details to follow in depth and a whole site redesign is underway, but please, mark Saturday October 20th and Sunday October 21st, 2012 as “Busy” in your Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook, whatever, and make travel plans to get to Temple University’s Alter Hall!

As I said, further details will follow, but we’re psyched to be bringing WordCamp back to the City of Brotherly Love for another year.

Speakers and sponsors: don’t worry, we’re working on getting the forms up and running. We’ll let everyone know when we’ve opened both up for submissions.

As always, remember to follow @PhillyWP and @WordCampPhilly for all the latest details.
