Business (Track) is Booming at WordCamp Birmingham!

Do you know the best part about WordPress? (hint: yeah, you do!) You can totally make a living using it! Many of us do, and business may be booming, but there’s always something else to learn. And if you’re not quite making ends meet with WP yet, that’s okay, too.

Our Business track is here to help. Whether you need to learn whether or not starting a WP business is living the dream or if your clients are telling you the truth, we’ve got you covered.

Just hop into any of our delightful business-track programs and settle in for what just might be the best 45 minutes of your life. YOUR LIFE. That’s right. They’re that good.

And if one is that good, can you imagine how amazing your life will be if you follow the whole track? I sure can’t.

So buckle up, businessfolk, and get ready to rake in the cash with WordCamp Birmingham’s Business track.

The whole schedule with all three tracks (blogger, business, and development) and is online here (with times and everything you need to make your day awesome).

Oh, do you still need to buy tickets? You can do that, too!

See you this weekend, Campers!

Meet the Keynote Speaker: Brian Krogsgard

If you’ve ever Googled anything about WordPress, you’ve probably come across an article (with a solution to your problem!) by Brian Krogsgard. The fella is just everywhere, y’all.

And this year, he’s at WordCamp Birmingham. As our keynote speaker, Brian tackles a common question we all face on a semi-daily basis: Why WordPress? If there ever was a topical and pertinent keynote address, this one is it.

He runs Post Status, a fantastic resource for WordPress professionals, and puts out the podcast, Post Status Draft. If you haven’t listened to it, then you should definitely load it up in iTunes (or just click through above and give it some ear-time).

So yeah. We are kind of excited to have him speak at the conference, and if you’re interested in getting to know him before you ~~give him a hug attack~~ shake his hand in person, you can find him on Twitter and everywhere WordPress is sold.

Still don’t have a ticket for #wpyall? No problem! Mosey on over to our tickets page and grab one. That way you don’t miss any of the fun, frolicking, or friendship! Disclaimer: frolicking not guaranteed
