I am proud to announce that I am, once again, co-organizing WordCamp Chicago, along with Brian Gardner of StudioPress. Together, last year, Brian and I hosted 200 WordPress fans in downtown Chicago and enjoyed a fabulous weekend of sharing, networking, food and fun! This year, we are anticipating to more than double that number and are expecting 500+ WordPress fans to invade Chicago the weekend of June 5&6!
I decided to start out this years event with a web site overhaul at wordcampchicago.com – - not that last year’s design wasn’t a good one (of course it was, I designed that one too!) – but this year, I wanted to incorporate some of the highlights from last year. I created a bit of a photo slide show as part of the header design of the blog that shows off all of the photos I took at WordCamp Chicago last year.
Using one of Brian’s themes from his StudioPress offerings, I used his Education theme as a framework for the site – which fit really nicely since we’re both organizing the event – - his theme combined with my graphic design and finishing touches further communicate our partnership in running a fun and successful event!
If you are in the Chicago area – - or even if you aren’t (we’re expecting folks from all over the country!) – consider attending WordCamp Chicago! You can register for your tickets on our web site – - but be sure to register early! Last year, we sold out – so make sure you secure your spot this year before it gets sold out!
If you are planning on attending – be sure to ping me so I know to look for you to say HI!
