It’s been a while since we last posted an update so it may seem as though little is going on, however we’ve been hard at work with preparations for what will be an even larger WordCamp US this year. (We expect over 3,000 attendees!)

Here’s what we’ve been up to:

• Putting together the internal teams that work on various areas, like sponsorship, website design, marketing, and volunteer coordination.
• Reaching out to sponsors to provide the financial support an event this size requires.
• Improving the way speakers will be able to submit proposals.
• Working through any issues from the 2015 event.

Be sure to sign up for email updates, or follow along on Twitter or Facebook, so you’ll be on top of all of the latest developments. (To receive email updates, just enter your email address where it says “Email Address” in the left sidebar and click “Subscribe.”)

We’ll be calling for speakers and volunteers soon!

2017 is a year away but the planning for WordCamp US 2017 starts today! Before we can get too far in the planning process there are a few decisions that need to be made. At the very top of that list of details? We need to choose a city to host to WordCamp US in 2017 and 2018.

Is your city the perfect place to host WordCamp US? Are you willing to lead the local WordCamp US organizing team for two consecutive years?

Applications are open now through Monday, February 29, 2016.
