Check Out Our Schedule

After reviewing close to 200 proposals, the organizers of WordCamp New York 2014 have put together a schedule that is aimed to inform and entertain you.

The fun begins with a Contributor Day on August 1. We will release more information as that gets closer, but if you have been interested in how to contribute to WordPress, this is a your chance to get started. It doesn’t matter if you are a developer, designer, documentarian, support provider, or have never contributed before.

On August 2, Doors will open at 8:00am and we will provide a light breakfast. The first sessions will kick off at 9:15am.  Lunch will be provided at 12:15pm.  Sessions will end at about 5pm.  Saturday night there will be a social event so that you can mingle and chat WordPress.  More information on that will be available soon.

On Sunday, we will be opening up at 11:30am for a noon start of sessions.  This should give you time to have a delicious brunch.  We will have coffee available but you should eat before you arrive.  Everything will wrap up at about 5:30pm.

Want to know exactly what is scheduled when so you can start planning which sessions you will attend?  Head on over to our Schedule page now.  We still have a few more speakers and sessions to announce. You are in for something special, but only if you secure your ticket before it is too late.
