We are happy to report that WordCamp San Diego 2018 was a great success and the entire organizing team is thrilled with the overall outcome and so now it’s time to wrap this up.<\/p>\n
This year we made it a priority to get feedback on the topics you were most interested in learning about, so that we could structure the tracks accordingly. WCSD 2018\u00a0covered a range of topics in Development, Design, Admin, Business and WordPress\u2019s latest feature, Guttenberg, all with their own dedicated tracks.<\/p>\n
We had a great lineup of speakers<\/a> this year\u00a0to help us tackle all aspects of WordPress, and want to extend our gratitude for the time they put into preparing for, and presenting at, our event. If you missed any of the talks, make sure to visit WordPress.tv<\/a> as the presentations will be available soon.<\/p>\n WCSD is not possible without our sponsors<\/a>. Not only did they support us with funding and in-kind donations, but many of them came out to network and share their expertise over the weekend. The sponsor room was alive with chatter and smiling faces – and the swag was plentiful! We hope you were able to take some time between tracks to meet some of our awesome sponsors and learn more about their services.<\/p>\n San Diego City College<\/strong><\/p>\n Finding a venue for an event of this size in San Diego is challenging, especially with the need of multiple, simultaneous tracks, so we were excited when San Diego City College met our criteria. The staff was a pleasure to work with and\u00a0very helpful in makng WCSD a success.<\/p>\n Wild Thyme Catering<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday’s lunch was provided by Wild Thyme Catering<\/a>. They prepared a variety of fresh sandwiches and wraps for attendees. People spread out along the courtyard while networking to enjoy their delicious meal.<\/p>\n Wild Thyme also made sure to keep the coffee, tea and water flowing during our event. We know how important it is to stay caffeinated during a WordCamp, so we made sure that coffee was readily available at all times.<\/p>\n Chipotle<\/strong><\/p>\n A full day of Camp learning would make anyone hungry and having burritos from Chipotle<\/a> certainly gave attendees the extra energy they needed to make it through another round of tracks on Sunday.<\/p>\n Museum of Man<\/strong><\/p>\n The after party was held in the heart of Balboa Park<\/a> at The San Diego Museum of Man<\/a>, which is housed in the California Building, originally built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. We were lucky to have the entire museum for our private event and the opportunity to visit the exhibits that were currently on display.<\/p>\n A nice selection of beer and wine was served, along with light appetizers from Luna Grill<\/a>.<\/p>\n We hope you enjoyed WordCamp San Diego and have been inspired to create and do more with WordPress. Remember, there are a ton of ways to get involved.<\/p>\n Post-Camp Survey<\/strong><\/p>\n Send us your feedback so we can make next year’s WCSD even better.<\/p>\n https:\/\/central.wordcamp.org\/wordcamp-attendee-survey\/<\/a><\/p>\n Meetups<\/strong><\/p>\n The Advanced WordPress Meetup<\/a> is held monthly in\/around San Diego and is a developer-centric Meetup focused on sharing knowledge and ideas.<\/p>\n Contributing to WordPress<\/strong><\/p>\n The Codex has a very detailed page explaining the different ways you can Contribute to WordPress<\/a>. There are opportunities for everyone to get involved, whether or not coding is “your thing”. Some of the ways you could contribute include: writing documentation, helping others in the support forum, assisting with translations to other languages, putting your coding chops to use and participating in development, bug reporting, and more.<\/p>\n Volunteering Next Year<\/strong><\/p>\nVenues & Vendors<\/h2>\n
