WordCamp Greenville For Me

Posted on by

Excited about WordCamp

For several years, I’ve been involved in the Greenville WordPress meet-up group.  I knew Clifton, our meet-up organizer wanted to host a WordCamp in Greenville.

During WordCamp Greenville 2018 Clifton said, “it is amazing to see a dream come to fruition.”  With an excellent list of speakers and a sold out event, Clifton and his team orchestrated a smooth one-day conference.

As a blogger and user of WordPress, this was my second WordCamp conference.

Why I attend WordCamp

WordCamp provides speakers sessions where I can broaden my knowledge and enhance my skills.  I learn something new at every session.

WordCamp Greenville scheduled a “user/beginner” program and a “developer” program.  I attended the “user” sessions.

Chad Warner provided one of the most informational presentations, “Maintenance of Your Website.”

Not only is management of your site important, but having the best security plugins is equally imperative.

For small businesses who use WordPress, Lauren Jeffcoat’s session on customer support was invaluable, along with Ben Meredith’s presentation on “How to Get Better Support.”

Three representatives from Engenius, a web design agency in Greenville, presented “Top 10 Things They Learned Doing Website Design.”  If you are an aspiring WordPress website designer, their information was priceless.

Although I do not sell anything on my WordPress site, April Wier’s presentation was applicable to any small business owner.

Jason Blumer’s process of pricing projects was enlightening.

Benefits of WordCamp

Besides informative presentations, attendees have the opportunity between sessions and during the catered lunch to network, share ideas and exchange business cards.

I made a few promising connections and made a few new acquaintances.

I am looking forward and hoping for a 2019 WordCamp Greenville.

WordPress Community Thrives in Greenville!

WordCamp Greenville can be declared an official success!  Organizers are so grateful to all sponsors, volunteers, speakers and attendees.

Although larger cities hosting WordCamp events may attract larger crowds, our one-day event in Greenville SOLD OUT and enticed attendees  from North Carolina, Georgia and as far away as Charleston, South Carolina.

Most WordCamps are locally organized to bring together WordPress users and developers, in order to educate, share ideas and network.  Hundreds of these events occur world-wide, throughout the year.

Anyone, from beginning bloggers to professional website developers are welcome at any of the WordCamp events.  Please check the website for available conferences at https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/.
