I’m looking forward to seeing some readers at tonight’s WordPress Camp at the Network Hub. If you are going, I recommend you get there early because the place will be packed. Nearly 90 people has RSVPed for the camp and I’m pretty sure the Network Hub can’t hold that many. A lot of people are going to have to stand or sit on the floor.
The event starts at 5:30 and runs until 8:30. There will be a networking reception afterwards at Steamworks in Gastown. The first round of beer is being paid for by Automattic, the creators of WordPress. Here’s the full schedule for tonight’s event.
