Thanks to Awesome Volunteers for making WordCamp Nashville 2013 possible

WordCamp Nashville is a labor of love, or at least extreme fondness. Without a few dozen of volunteers, we could not have pulled it off.

Volunteers staffed the registration desk, handed out swag, videotaped presentations, designed the website, t-shirts and other cool stuff, answered questions, solicited sponsors, wrote blog posts, moderated rooms, answered questions, organized food, cleaned up, and generally took care of what needed to happen so the day would run smoothly.

The organizing team, like the presenters, are volunteers, too. Each year WordCamp Nashville gets bigger and better because volunteers donate their time, energy and creativity.

Without the help all the volunteers, WordCamp would not have been what it was so please take few minutes to check out their sites and find them on social media.

WordCamp Nashville 2013 set for April 20

Save the date and spread the word: WordCamp Nashville 2013 is set for Saturday, April 20, at Nashville School of Law.

We want WordCamp Nashville 2013 to reflect the excitement, growth and diversity of the Middle Tennessee WordPress community.

You may attend any session, regardless of experience level, but we will break sessions into three general categories.

  1. Boot Camp: Learn to use WordPress.
  2. Specialization Training: Make WordPress work for you, Themes, Plugins, SEO & more.
  3. DevOps: PHP, Theming, Plugins & other tricks.
