Why UArts?

One reason we chose The University of the Arts for our venue? It’s different! It reflects creativity and a varied perspective – just like our WordPress community. With so many people using WordPress in so many ways, the possibilities are endless. We think you’ll find that ambience of UArts will encourage your creativity and get you thinking in new ways!

Sunday

WordCamp Philly Developer Day will be Sunday, June 8th from 1pm-5pm at CityCoHo | Philly Nexus is located at 2401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Why “WordCamp”?

We have an active monthly Meetup-based community here in Philly that gathers folks from all around the metro area towards a single goal: building a local community based on WordPress in all its uses. We feature local WordPress luminaries, each of whom contributes a talk, demonstration, or code for all to share and benefit from. So the question arises: why is “WordCamp Philly” necessary?

What Is It?

WordCamps are different. WordCamp Philly is intended to be the premiere WordPress-related technical conference in Philadelphia. It is a larger, two day event, with a Saturday full of learning opportunities. A total of four tracks, held in incredible, cool facilities at the University of the Arts Gershman Hall will be on offer for attendees:

• User
• Power User
• Designer
• Developer

But wait, there’s more! This year, we are delighted that GirlDevelopIt Philadelphia (GDI) will provide sessions on a wide variety of WordPress topics throughout the day!

And that’s still not all! There will also be a Sunday Developer Day held in CityCoHo. This day will be less session based and more hands-on hacking! Don’t think you’re an expert developer? No worries. Dev Day is also for developers who want to learn from some of the most talented people around. The agenda will include:

• How to Contribute to WordPress Core
• Submitting Plugins to the WordPress.org Directory
• And More!

Don’t forget our Saturday night festivities!

Right after the Saturday sessions, we’ll have a Happy Hour, followed by our famous After Party! Check ’em out on the Locations page.
