Hello, everyone! There's apparently a WordPress conference in Philadelphia this year. Those who are interested in this particular web development platform might want to take a look below; they're offering a registration discount for students. The e-mail I received is below. Cheers, Zach --------------------- Hello! I'm Sarah, a co-organizer of *WordCamp US 2016, the national conference for WordPress*, to be held in Philadelphia this December. WordPress is the open source software running over 26% of websites on the internet, and as such is a major communications platform for individuals, organizations, businesses, and educational institutions. (I've attached a PDF with more information, if you're interested.) I'm writing to *request that you share the conference details with your students and staff who may be interested* in attending such an event. Those studying and working in computer science and other technology areas, as well as communications, may be the best fit, although anyone interested in coding, designing, publishing, or running a business on the web could enjoy attending. I've created a *coupon code* to offer students, faculty, and staff who would like to attend a 50% discount on tickets, which are $40 (full price). The code is: WCUS2016Great-educ The coupon code can be redeemed on our ticket page: https://2016.us.wordcamp.org/tickets/ <https://2016.us.wordcamp.org/tickets/> I'd really appreciate if you share this opportunity with your students. We're hoping to extend our reach this year and welcome some new faces into the WordPress community. If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm happy to discuss anytime! Best, Sarah Blackstock WordCamp US co-organizer https://2016.us.wordcamp.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
