WordCamp US 2022 – Live Recap

 

After two years of hiatus, in-person WordCamps have returned, and September 9-11 is WordCamp US 2022. This WordCamp US (WCUS) is also being livestreamed. If you miss it, you can catch up on the sessions when they are posted on WordCamp TV.

In this post we will be recapping the event as it happens. Stay tuned for updates!

What is WordCamp and what are the benefits?

WordCamp is a meetup event for people interested in all things WordPress. Creators and innovators from all industries and backgrounds can collectively gather and share ideas that make WordPress’s open source software a much better tool for all to enjoy (aka the WordPress open source project).

Whether you’re setting up your first portfolio website as a freelance writer or developing a new widget as a seasoned coder, WordCamp is the place to learn and discover new opportunities through things like:

  • Networking opportunities
  • Workshops
  • Discussion panels
  • Q&A sessions

You can also expect other fun benefits like free swag, cool prizes and after-hour parties as an extra bonus for attending.

How WordCamp US differs from a typical convention

At WordCamp, you won’t find endless rows of vendors focused on selling their products.

Instead, you’ll find unofficial gatherings in the hallways between sessions — known as hallway tracks — where people network with one another to dish out their favorite trade secrets and chat about key happenings within their industries. While there is an active sponsors area, these brands are focused on relationship building and being part of the WordPress community.

Learning from WordPress contributors

One of the biggest ways WordCamp empowers attendees is through Contributor Day. This is where WordPress users are gathered into different teams across the platform to discuss all the ways they contribute to the overall project. It’s also a great opportunity for people to ask questions and meet new faces from different industries.

Anyone can sign up to be a contributor and is encouraged to do so — no matter your skill level or background.

Taking WordCamp US 2022 to San Diego

This year, WCUS headed to San Diego, California to celebrate the three-day events at the Town and Country Resort. Here, guests basked in the warm weather, took in all the sights from local beaches and chowed down on some of the best Mexican food in the nation.

One of the highlights from this year’s trip included a yacht party, hosted by Pagely, that set sail on the San Diego bay at night. Guests sipped on cocktails, dined on local cuisine, and danced the night away — all while taking in the picturesque skyline and marina views that the city has to offer.

Meet the GoDaddy team on the ground
