SAN DIEGO (May 20, 2011) – San Diego’s beaches and year-round sunshine draw visitors from all over the world, but this July San Diego will be a destination city for a different kind of visitor: the tech-savvy internet professional that is more likely to be toting their laptop bag than sunscreen.
WordCamp San Diego will take place on Saturday, July 16 at 8:00 a.m. at San Diego State University. The event will feature three separate tracks with speakers covering a variety of topics from using WordPress for web development to creating a successful blog.

Hey folks, so things are heating up. We figured we’d post the website badges you can use on your sites to let folks know your attending, speaking, sponsoring and so on 🙂
Note: Just right click to save the image, then place them wherever appropriate on your site. Most folks link their badge back to the site, a good link would be http://wordcampsd.com
Let us know what you think.
Cheers,
WCSD Organizing Team.
The first official WordCamp San Diego is scheduled for July 16th, 2011 at San Diego State University, are you attending?
There will be limited tickets to this first time event in San Diego, and we’d love to hear from you. Here’s a quick poll, let us know if you’re coming or not.
Ok, we just got back from WordCamp Phoenix – which was phenomenal – and after putting feelers out on our proposed number of allowed registrations we have decided to look for a new venue that can better accommodate our San Diego WP enthusiasts.
A huge shout out goes to Language World for offering us their facilities. We’ve also been in discussions with various other great venues like SDSU, U of SD, and National U.
Now the fun begins… again…
Just wanted to stop by and let you know that we now have a logo for WordCamp San Diego 2011.
Leave us a comment, we want to hear what you think.
We’re excited to report that we have confirmed our venue and date for WordCamp San Diego.
Much thanks to Language World USA for offering us their facilities for this event. We’ve scheduled the venue for July 16th, 2011. Hit them up on Twitter and thank them for their generous sponsorship. We’ll be making a post dedicated to who they are and what they offer in the coming weeks.
As this is the first WordCamp in San Diego we’ll be limiting our registrations; unknown what the limit will be at this time but stay tuned for more info.
Lastly, we realize this site is in need of some love and in the coming weeks you should start seeing some changes, so yet again, there is another reason to stay tuned. You can stay on top of the updates via twitter.
We want to hear from you, so leave us a comment.
