The Schedule

This year WCT will be 3 days of WP goodness broken down into three tracks of presentations daily! Also, everyday we will dedicate 2 slots to our Dev Camp and Get Social gatherings.

What’s Dev camp?
It’s an opportunity for developers to hang out in one room and code away. Build plug-in, a theme, or anything else creative with WordPress and we will open source at the end of the event. We will also enter the best Dev Camp creation into the WCT Award ceremony.

What’s Get Social?
It’s an opportunity for the WP’ers of the world to unite! We will dedicate an entire room for face to face social time where you can voice your opinion and get involved. Here you can discuss how you use WP creatively, what unique and interesting plug-ins and themes you’ve built or come across, and anything else that on your mind.
