G’Day everyone and thanks for coming along and making the inaugural WordCamp Brisbane a success!

We really couldn’t have done it without the help of everyone on the day, and our amazing sponsors such as Braintree_dev, Jetpack, and Human Made.

We’ve created a survey to get a few thoughts on how the event ran, and how we can do it better next time, we’d love to hear all your thoughts!

We’re currently working on getting all of the #WCBNE videos processed (I want to watch them!) so sit tight and we’ll get all videos & slides uploaded to WordCamp.TV as soon as humanly possible (or as fast as our Internet lets us!)

If anyone took any photos on the day, or have written a blog post of their experience, please let us know by commenting below, or sharing to our Facebook page, we’d love to be able to keep an archive of all photos taken to show how successful WordCamp Brisbane was!

If you’re interested in helping us out on the day (Microphone running during Q&A Sessions? Staffing the Happiness bar serving up your WordPress knowledge? Helping get everyone checked in with a badge in the morning?) we’d love to hear from you, volunteers help make WordCamp run smoothly and we can never have too many!

WordPress Brisbane Meetup
WordCamp Brisbane is being run as a local non-profit event with Linux Australia in conjunction with the Brisbane WordPress meetup group, the meetup group meets once a month to talk WordPress – topics have ranged from an Introduction to WordPress, right up to how to Develop with a REST API, something for everyone. The meetup group always welcomes new members, and will always be free. If you’d like to present, or interested in helping out, get in contact with the organisers through our meetup page. There’s WordPress meetups on the Sunshine Coast & Gold Coast, and every major capital city, so if you’re not from Brisbane there’s bound to be a meetup event near you!
