Welcome to WordCamp Vernon<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is WordCamp?<\/h2>\n

WordCamp is a conference for anyone that uses WordPress and wants to learn more about WordPress! Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.<\/p>\n

WordCamps are a great way to learn more about WordPress and sharpen your skills. It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie thinking about starting a blog, a business owner looking to manage your WordPress website, or an I.T. professional looking for an easy to use, well supported content management system — WordCamp has something to offer you.<\/p>\n

What Do You Get?<\/h3>\n

Aside from getting smart about WordPress, you can meet with other bloggers, designers and developers. You also get a free T-Shirt, free coffee, a great lunch and an excuse to come to the Okanagan (if you’re not lucky enough to already be here). Oh, and an after-party ticket to carry the WordPress conversation on into the evening.<\/p>\n

How Much?<\/h3>\n

WordCamp is cheap<\/span> cost effective<\/strong>. A full day of learning for our 2016 WordCamp was $30.<\/p>\n

… What Exactly Is ‘WordPress’?<\/h2>\n

Short answer:
\nWordPress is a way to create websites. It allows you to set up a site add content, pictures, videos, ads etc. without being a programmer.<\/p>\n

Technically, it’s an open-source content management software that runs about 25% of the world’s websites. Yes, it’s that big. The best part: it’s easy to use whether you’re a business owner who needs an easy website to manage or a web developer looking for a platform to build sites and applications in.<\/p>\n
