A bit of recognition to our 1st (3) Individual Sponsors. Thank you for investing in WordCamp NYC in this unique way:
To our 32 attendees who’ve committed well over 10 weeks before our WordCamp, long before we’ve published our speakers, we appreciate your showing us love so early.
To the companies that are coming to WordCamp NYC specifically (Convey This, Hover, Kusanagi, Pantheon, Plesk, Qualpay, Siteground, WP engine) thank you for making our WordCamp possible in partnership with our Global Sponsors (Jetpack, Woo Commerce, bluehost, DreamHost, BoldGrid and GoDaddy that’s upgraded to Gold.)
Our 2018 Organizing team is working hard to bring you the best.

This is an opportunity for WordPress aficionados from different walks of life to share their varied talents and expertise. Developers, project managers, content creators, designers, support professionals, and more are welcome to talk about all things WordPress. We love to showcase the incredible diversity of the WordPress community, as well as the versatility of WordPress itself.
We are looking for content and variety to contribute to the diversity of our topics varying from design, development, business, publishing, marketing, to community in the context of Open Source software.
We want our participants to be engaged, inspired, and enlightened.
We accept and encourage ALL topics related to WordPress and beyond. What are you passionate about? Everybody has a unique WordPress story to tell, and we want to hear yours. All voices are welcome here. If you work on other Open Source projects or web design and development in general, and think the WordPress community could benefit from your story, we want it told at WCNY 2018!
