If you are a student or teacher at The Academy then you should definitely check out WordCamp Miami. This event is happening March 15-17th at FIU Modesto A. Maidique Campus (MMC) in Miami, FL.
What is WordCamp Miami?
WordCamp Miami is one among many WordCamps that happen around the world each year. WordCamp Miami 2019 is the ELEVENTH year in a row for us – we started with a little over 200 attendees and we’ve recently broken 1000. Great for:
- Bloggers / Writers
- Web Designers
- Developers / Coders
- Front-End Developers
- WordPress Users
- Online Store Owners
- Online Marketers
- Freelancers
- Students / Kids
- Teachers
Word of warning: we sell out EVERY year. If you have questions, reach out to us. But grab tickets while they are available.
Best Reasons To Come:
– We talk about WordPress but a lot of our talks focus on general subjects (like freelancing, web security, marketing, and design) or talking about subjects that can apply to almost any development project you are coding (like HTML or JavaScript).
– It’s affordable. 70 speakers, workshops, a “help bar” to get help w/ your website, lunch, snack, t-shirts, networking events, after party (with more food)… all for $45 for weekend tickets ($15-20 for workshops). If you are a student and help volunteer, your ticket might cost even less.
– Networking And Meeting People: WordCamp Miami, like many other WordCamps, bring in a variety of people. Many of these are looking for work, looking to hire, or just looking to meet with interesting people. With a family friendly atmosphere, many people come from around the country and the globe to attend WCMIA each year. Many of these are people who work for hosting companies or are plugin developers that you probably already know by name.
– Great For Users And Bloggers: You don’t have to be a developer, coder, or WordPress professional. You can be using WordPress for the first time, or just trying to figure out how to better your own business or website. You can find out how to use social media or content marketing to make your business better – and talk with people who have made it work for themselves.
– Bring the kids. We have activities for kids both Saturday and Sunday (for young ones and older teens).
What Might Particularly Interest Someone from The Academy?
– Our beginner’s workshop. Invest $17.50 and a day of your time, and you’ll learn how to work with WordPress. WordPress powers 33% of the web – one of the many reasons you should be familiar with it.
– We have an e-commerce and developer’s workshop on March 15th as well. You can learn how to build your own e-commerce store with WordPress!
– The networking alone – meet tech companies, open source software contributors, and a wide variety of business people and freelancers from around the area.
