WordCamp Philly is intended to be the premiere WordPress-related technical conference in Philadelphia. It is a larger, two day event, with a <strong>Saturday<\/strong> full of learning opportunities. A total of four tracks, held in <em>incredible<\/em>, cool facilities at the <a title=\"University of the Arts\" href=\"http:\/\/uarts.edu\" target=\"_blank\">University of the Arts Gershman Hall<\/a> will be on offer for attendees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>User<\/li>\n<li>Power User<\/li>\n<li>Designer<\/li>\n<li>Developer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>But wait, there&#8217;s more!<\/strong> This year, we are delighted that <a title=\"Girl Develop It Philadelphia\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/Girl-Develop-It-Philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\">GirlDevelopIt Philadelphia (GDI)<\/a> will provide sessions on a wide variety of WordPress topics throughout the day!<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s still not all! There will also be a <strong>Sunday<\/strong> Developer Day held in <a style=\"color: #41a62a\" href=\"http:\/\/citycoho.com\/\">CityCoHo<\/a>.
