Check the Schedule

Our Speakers

We have an awesome lineup of speakers for all around, but as most of you know WordPress is all about community, so we focused on finding speakers in the local Metro Detroit communities. We have speakers from out local Metro Detroit WordPress Meetup, as well as other groups in the area. We will be highlighting the speakers and sessions a bit more in the coming weeks.

Our Sessions

Our awesome speakers, create a great lineup of sessions, naturally. We have 3 tracks we are working on: Developer, Business, and Design, with a splash of beginner-focused sessions and diversity. We want to have a WordCamp that can benefit our diverse community, their knowledge and their needs.

Our Sponsors

This conference would be possible without our sponsors. Thanks to them we can bring together all the little things that make a conference worth it: lunch provided, swag, snacks and more. Check out our sponsors when you get a chance, and visit with them when you come to the conference!
