Come Early to WordCamp OC and Stay to the Very End

This summer we challenge you to venture to Orange County, California for the legendary WordCamp OC. The fun starts with pre-events all day Friday, June 8 so watch for details which will follow in coming weeks. Saturday and Sunday, June 9-10 will be jam-packed with amazing discussions, workshops, panels and food. In typical Southern California style, favorite food truck meals will be provided both days.

Each evening after WordCamp OC, you’ll be treated to more opportunities to socialize, too.

Tradition is the name of the game when it comes to the our WordCamp After Party, with the best karaoke that Orange County offers. You won’t want to miss your chance to witness Steve Zehngut on the stage! Our Sunday Social begins as WordCamp wraps up and is a perfect opportunity to review, share ideas and make more friends after a weekend of learning and community. We’d love to see you at both events!

For sponsors, speakers and attendees journeying to WordCamp Europe, Orange County is less than a sixty minutes drive from Los Angeles International Airport. We’ve included a list of local hotels below to make your bookings easier. Please map out your trip to WordCamp OC using the details below. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Call for Volunteers

The epic quest that is a WordCamp doesn’t happen without the help of brave souls committed to the tasks, nay labors required.

We’re looking for volunteers!!!

We need a few good people. And we’d especially love it if you journeyed with us! In exchange you’ll get a free ticket to the event, an invitation to the speaker/sponsor dinner, our gratitude, the adoration of attendees. You might also achieve glory in battle and a dragon’s hoard in gold (though those last two are pretty doubtful).

We need folks we can count on for both days of our weekend: June 9th & 10th. If you are interested, fill out the form below. We’re looking for several community henchmen to join forces with us. Do you have the fortitude to apply?
