What I’m looking forward to this weekend at WordCamp Toronto

Posted on by

Because I’ve been busy organizing WordCamp Toronto with Melissa Feeney since this past April, I haven’t had much time time to sit back and take stock of what I’m actually looking forward to at this weekend’s conference. I am particularly excited about the catering, Fused Network sponsored both lunches and we’ve come up with a heck of a menu for both days. But aside from that, I’m personally really looking forward to the following sessions:

  • Joseph Thornley’s session on putting blogs at the centre of social media – I’ll probably be able to put a few of these thoughts into action at work the very next week.
  • Matt Mullenweg – basically he’s pretty much responsible for blogging as we know it today so whatever he’s thinking in his head will be good
  • Making the most with Plug-ins – I really need to learn what plug-ins could help me improve my blog. From efficiency to maybe adding photos in a better way. I’m hoping I’ll be able to leave this session with some practical tips I can implement here on yuill.ca right away.

Pretty pumped about WordCamp Toronto

Last spring, Melissa and I went to Dallas for WordCamp, a two-day conference of WordPress users where we learned, shared, taught and had a grand ‘ole time while we focused on the Web’s best blogging platform.

When we returned, the CCSAI was so excited about our experience there they asked us to organize one, so we are!

I’m really excited about WordCamp Toronto being held October 4-5, 2008. We have some great speakers including Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress and Joseph Thornley, Toronto’s blogging and social media guru.

If you’re in town that weekend, check it out. It’s only $25, you get lunch both days and an event t-shirt.
