This is the big news that you’ve been waiting for and that we’ve been eager to announce: the 2016 WordCamp Nashville Schedule is available. We don’t like to brag… well, yeah, we do: it’s killer.
Saturday, September 17
Kicking the conference off on Saturday at 9am is Steve Zehngut with the keynote talk (we’ll fill you in on the topic closer to camp). We’ll follow that up with the full day of the ‘traditional’ sessions you’ve come to know and love… but bigger, broader and better! We have four, yes four tracks based on skill level and area of interest.
The first three tracks will be familiar to previous years’ attendees: beginner, intermediate/business, and developer. The fourth track, new this year and organized by Todd O’Neill of MTSU, will center on WordPress in higher ed. The session breakdown for the higher ed track will be announced next week if all goes according to plan.
As always, participation in and attendance of sessions is up to the attendee; you’re not locked into any one track based on skill level, and you can switch back and forth between tracks at any time.
Sunday, September 18
This year we are excited to bring you a second day of WordPress delightfulness, with three in-depth, hands-on workshops. Geared more towards the beginner/intermediate level, these workshops are an opportunity to really get your hands dirty! For those who feel like they are more suited to teach that level of class than attend, never fear! We’re presenting a full day of Core Contribution guidance, where you can learn various ways, from code to community organizing, to give back to the software that’s brought us all together.
A Help Desk assistance (aka The Happiness Bar) will be available on both Saturday and Sunday for anyone who needs one-on-one help with anything WordPress related.
So, what are you waiting for? Lock down your tickets (and place your Saturday lunch order!) before they’re gone! If just a ticket isn’t quite enough for you, we’re still in need of day-of volunteers, so sign up right here!
