WordCamp Brisbane 2019!

It’s been just over 6 months since #WCBNE 2018, can you believe it? For some of us it feels like it was just yesterday… But we’re happy to let you know we’ve kept our promise to you, and we’ll be running another WordCamp Brisbane this year!

Many of us probably still haven’t caught up on watching those sessions we missed last year, but you’ll be happy to know the recordings of the sessions are still available! Try to watch them before coming along to #WCBNE 2019 yeah?

This is the last email notification you’ll be getting about posts on WordCamp Brisbane, unless you head on over to the 2019 WordCamp site and subscribe for email updates there. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter or get updates in the #wpbrisbane Slack Channel.

While you’re there, you should also go ahead and purchase yourself a ticket for this year! Ticket prices have been kept at $50 once again this year making it one of the cheapest two day conferences around!

The WordPress Meetups in Brisbane have also been growing this year! We’ve now got 4 meetups throughout the Greater Brisbane area including two day-time meetups in Chermside and Coorparoo in addition to the two evening meetups in Fortitude Valley and North Lakes. For further details about those, check out the WordPress Brisbane meetup group on Meetup.com, and for those of you outside of Brisbane, don’t forget the Ipswich and Gold Coast meetups too!

From all the organisers of past, present and future WordPress events in Brisbane, we hope to see you again soon!

PS. If you’re no longer in the Brisbane area, go check out your local WordPress meetup for further news, and keep an eye out for announcements for WordCamp Sydney and WordCamp Port Macquarie later this year too!

Coming soon, The presentations will also be available on WordPress.tv, you’ll find the event archive here (They’re currently in the moderation queue).
If you’ve never heard of WordPress.TV, it’s a great resource containing videos from all the WordCamps around the world which have been recorded for your viewing, See Matt Mullenweg’s Summertime Update at WordCamp Europe, or last years State of the Word at WordCamp US 2017 – or hold off a few weeks until the videos from WordCamp US 2018 are available.

Keep an eye on your inboxes for a Post-event feedback survey which we’ll have out to you all in the next few days, we’d love to hear your thoughts on how WordCamp Brisbane went this year, what we can do better next year, and what we should definitely do again!
