Let everyone know you’ll be at WordCamp Philly with a badge! Put it on social media, your website, or anywhere your heart desires.

WordCamp Philly 2018 is almost upon us, and we are in need of a volunteer photographer or two! We want to bring a new perspective to the event by offering the opportunity to capture the talks, panels and overall atmosphere. If you are a highly motivated individual with a lens, please get in touch via the contact form if you are interested!

WordCamp Philly has three themes this year: Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, Independence, and City of Firsts. We invite volunteer photographers to use their cameras to capture these themes at WordCamp Philly. (To be clear, we’re not photographers so we have no idea how to do this. We’re hoping our volunteer photographers will!)

As a volunteer photographer, you will need to publish your photos online under a Creative Commons license.

In the grand tradition of the Philly Wapuu, we’re proud to introduce three new Wapuus. Our theme this year is Philly firsts. We choose just a few that were a surprise to us, but with a city whose history is as rich as Philadelphia’s, it was hard to choose!

Never heard of a Wapuu?… you can read all about how Wapuu came about here and then promptly fall in love like the rest of us. Read on to see our 2018 creations!

We could still use about half a dozen more volunteers for the 2018 WordCamp Philly. Help us set up, work the registration table, volunteer at the Happiness Bar or assist with other small tasks that make our event a success.

The deadline to apply is 11:59 pm Sept. 15 (not to be confused with the deadline for free child care and interpretive services). You don’t need to be a WordPress guru to help. Most of the tasks for volunteers don’t require special skills — and you’ll still have time to attend sessions.

To find out more and sign up, see our call for volunteers.

The deadline for two of WordCamp Philly’s free services is coming up fast. If you would like to take advantage of the child care we’re offering during the October 27 sessions, we’ll need to know by 11:59 pm September 14.

The same deadline applies to ASL and interpretive services. Both services require us to make arrangements several weeks in advance.
