WordPress Community Thrives in Greenville!

Posted on by

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/.

If you live in the Greenville area, please visit one of our upcoming WordPress Meet-Ups.  Greenville, SC WordPress Meet-Up Group.

If you participated in WordCamp Greenville 2018 – THANK YOU and please share your experience with us, through our survey at https://central.wordcamp.org/wordcamp-attendee-survey/.

Ah Yes – The Happiness Bar At WordCamp

Posted on by

 

 

 

Ah yes, we will have a bar, but not the kind of bar your thinking about. The Happiness Bar is a place that you can get help with all your WordPress questions. Even though we can not guarantee that they will be answered, it’s a great place to get started.

 

Running 9:00am-4:25pm.

 

Staffed by volunteers (at WordCamp, what isn’t?) who are willing and interested in helping you solve your WordPress problem. The idea isn’t that the volunteers have all the answers or will do the work for you, but that they can point you in the right direction. If the volunteer does not know the answer, they can always introduce you to a person who can help.

 

Many speakers will head for the Happiness Bar after their presentation, so if you want to further explore one of their ideas or have really specific questions, sit down with them and ask.

 

Whether you have a question you need to be answered, code that needs to be reviewed, or want to get some work done, this is the place to be. Come and ask questions, answer questions and meet new friends. If it’s a WordPress question, you can ask it at the Happiness Bar!

 

A Note: Not all problems can be solved quickly and easily. Although the Happiness Bar is a place to get you going in the right direction, you might need to continue the conversation after WordCamp. And, not to disappoint you, but that might cost money when you do. Volunteers will do their best to help you as much as possible during the weekend, but sometimes, you just need a professional.
