WordCamp Toronto 2013

Are you headed to WordCamp Toronto this year? We are! We hope to have an opportunity to speak and share a few cool things we've learned. But whether we speak or not, we're looking forward to the great conversations that always arise and taking in the WordPress wisdom others have to share.

WordCamp is an annual event dedicated to WordPress, and it's a blast each year. This year it'll be held on Saturday, October 5th through Sunday, October 6th down at Humber College's Lakeshore Campus.

Although we've attended the last few years, this is the first year we'll be a sponsor of the event--and we couldn't be more excited! And if you aren't familiar with WordCamp but are a regular user or developer of WordPress, you will definitely want to check it out. Tickets aren't on sale quite yet, but you can grab them for $30 (and that covers the entire weekend) when they go up!

Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to WordCamp!
