What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re attending your first WordCamp or your 100th, you\u2019re bound to have fun, learn a lot, and widen your circle of WordPress friends, and attending a WCUS multiplies the friends and fun exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is some info about attending WCUS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. First:<\/strong> No two WCUS experiences are the same. Different speakers, venues, sponsors, and even the food will create a different experience. And, of course, camp attendees will be different each time.<\/li>
  2. Second:<\/strong> You will meet new people at every WCUS, and create an amazing network of WordPress friends \u2013 and then greet each other as old friends at every time you see each other going forward.<\/li>
  3. Third:<\/strong> No matter what your WordPress experience is, every WordCamp has a wide spectrum of attendees with every level of experience.<\/li>
  4. Fourth:<\/strong> You may feel overwhelmed at first, but that\u2019s normal! Some sessions may feel like you\u2019ve wandered into another world, and in other sessions, things will be familiar and click into place. <\/li>
  5. Fifth:<\/strong> The WordPress community is a wonderful group of people. The WordPress culture is permeated with good people, and we are all here to help one another.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Come with an open mind. Be open to meeting new people, learn new ideas & explore new experiences. Leave your comfort zone!<\/p>Lauren Jeffcoat

    WordCamp US will call St. Louis home for 2019 and 2020. This beautiful city and the \u201cGateway to the West\u201d provides all the excitement that attendees have come to expect at WCUS. From a Mississippi River Cruise<\/a> to tours of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery<\/a>, this area has much to offer the casual tourist or hardcore traveler.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
