What if expensive technology conferences were accessible to everyone?  What if absolutely anyone could create, run and maintain their own website? The point of WordPress is to provide a powerful, flexible, scalable and easy to learn website tool that anyone can access for free. The point of WordCamps is to celebrate this open tool by teaching people how to use WordPress, how to bend it to their will, and even how to leverage it as a business- and to do it all for about the price of lunch. In our first year, WordCamp Phoenix hosted a sold out crowd of 500 for a day long conference in Tempe, Arizona. In 2011, WordCamp Phoenix will be a 5 day event held all over Greater Phoenix, including free workshops, a full day conference with four tracks, a day just for WordPress developers and networking opportunities for all. This ticket will entitle you to entry for Saturday's full day conference with four tracks, genius bar, lunch and the after party.  Classes, the speed meet and Sunday Hack Day are free activities only for Phx Wordcamp attendees. (Register for a ticket and you'll be asked about attending those events).. Who should attend WordCamp? Individuals who would like a website or blog: You don’t know any html or css, but you know you’d like to be able to have a website and maintain it yourself. Businesses/Organizations: You’d like a stable, secure platform for your biz site, you may need the assistance of a developer or designer in the future and would like access to ones from the WordPress community. WordPress Users: you have a wordpress site or blog, and would like to learn more about how to use it, promote it, extend it, hack it or design it. Web developers: you can program, but want to integrate WordPress into your services. Or you actively develop with WordPress and want to get the latest intel on dev tips and tricks.
