The organizing team would like to send a massive thank you to everyone for attending WordCamp Calgary 2016.

This year’s WordCamp was a fantastic weekend of great content, networking and community building for the WordPress community in Calgary. With a sold out crowd, 15 sessions of great content, two days of activities and an amazing after party we hope everyone left last WordCamp with some more great knowledge and ideas.

And as the organizing committee transitions into the decompression and wrap up phase, we have a few tidbits of information to pass a long.

Thank you to our volunteers

Wordcamp Calgary 2016

A massive, massive thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication for making WordCamp happen. Without our team of dedicated volunteers working the registration table, recording the sessions and running lunch this conference wouldn’t have been what it was.

So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Thank You to Our Speakers!

We also want to thank our speakers for not only giving up their time to prepare and give their presentations, but for also providing the top notch content to make WordCamp Calgary so great. Without our Speakers we wouldn’t have had the content to make the weekend possible.

Take a minute and show them some love by following them on twitter and/or visiting their websites.

Thank You To Our Sponsors!

And of course a massive thank you to all our sponsors, without your support the conference wouldn’t be possible.

… And last but not least, we want to thank you once again for attending, participating and supporting WordCamp Calgary 2016. You are all brilliant, amazing and spectacular.

We look forward to seeing everyone at WordCamp Calgary 2017!

Preferred Hotel Information

Posted on by

As the organizing team puts together the final details in regards to WordCamp Calgary 2016, we wanted to share with all our out of town guests some good news. With many of you coming to WordCamp from outside of Calgary, the organizing team has secured a preferred hotel rate for out-of-towners.

The Day’s Inn Calgary South on McLeod Trail (3828 Macleod Tr S) has agreed to give guests a preferred rate for the weekend. If you use the booking code WordCamp when booking your room you will get a discount. Our preferred rate is 6% off the rack rate. Rooms with two double beds will be available for $94 plus tax. For the first few attendees who call and reserve, they’ll actually give you an extra discount, and you’ll pay only $84 plus tax. Once those $84 rooms are gone, though, they’re gone. So get booking!
