TAZZU WordPress Camp - rockin' the Hub

This past Wednesday, myself, along with rmd Studio, PeerGlobe and TAZZU, and hosted Vancouver’s first WordPress Camp.

Thanks to Amanda Abrams for this great photo!

We initially estimated around 35 to 40 people attending the event, located at the beautiful Network Hub. However, word got out, and a week before the event, RSVPs starting flooding in... yeah, I commenced to panic.

Phone calls were quickly made to locate a larger venue, but with such short notice none could be found, so we all just 'pressed' in.

The first to arrive got chairs, others took to the floor, and the rest stood. Okay, it's not ideal, but I tell you what, there sure was a sense of community within the room. We made the best of it.

I had the pleasure of greeting all the attendees, and must say they are an amazing bunch. I feel like I've just made a whole whack of new friends.

To summarize the event: the presenters were fabulous, making the most of their 20 minutes. As far as topics go, there was really something there for everyone. In addition, sponsors provided Timmy's coffee and donuts for all, and a free beer (thanks Automattic!) for those who made it out to the after-party held at the Flux Bistro.

So, from me personally,to all of you, thank you so much for making TAZZU's WordPress Camp a huge success!
