WordCamp Toronto 2009

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developer's show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people.

BackSpaceStudios and PHUG - Open Source Culture, will be hosting WordCamp Toronto 2009! We want to explore WordPress to a higher degree and we’re looking for a bigger venue, sponsorships and more! In 2009, we would like to expand the conference to include all walks of WordPress life, from commercial to non-profit, from amateur to professional bloggers, designers and developers, and explore other ways in which WordPress is being used outside the blogging community.
