We’re excited to host our afterparty at Phoenix Public Market Café again on Saturday, February 17 following WordCamp Phoenix 2018.

 

Phoenix Public Market is a Downtown Phoenix staple from local chef Aaron Chamberlin serving farm-to-table, scratch-made dishes with seasonal ingredients along with handmade cocktails and craft brews (Chamberlain recently opened Tempe Public Market Café, operates St. Francis and is opening Taco Chelo with Chef Suny Santana in the coming weeks).

 

With a beautiful patio and dining room, The Café is the perfect spot to unwind and connect with fellow campers. We’re also shutting down the parking lot where the Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market typically takes place for a video game truck and expanded patio space.

 

 

Each attendee will receive a drink ticket and Phoenix Public Market prepares a beautiful spread of hearty appetizers including vegetable platters, pretzels & cheese, pulled pork sliders, chips & house guac and more.

 

This year’s WordCamp Phoenix lineup features creative professionals from all over The Valley and the world, dozens of amazing sponsors and hundreds of attendees. We can’t wait to celebrate WordCamp weekend with you all!

On Saturday February 17, we're thrilled to have Shawn Pfunder, Senior Communications Director at GoDaddy, deliver the WordCamp Phoenix 2018 keynote address.

A seasoned storyteller and marketing professional, Shawn is Editor-in-Chief at GoDaddy and works with small businesses to amplify their reach and potential using compelling visual and written narratives.

Presenting Going Tribal – How Our Appetite for Connection Can Make or Break Our Best-Laid Plans, Shawn will help us understand our tribes better to be more inclusive, diverse and change the world.

"Tribes are rad. They fortify us. They provide us safe places to play. They give us a space to be ourselves. Tribes help us target who we want to connect with and who we want to do business with. These days, the internet has only made it easier for weirdos like us to connect."

Shawn Pfunder

 

We're excited to welcome Shawn back to the WordCamp Phoenix stage! Be sure to get your tickets — this is going to be a camp you won't want to miss.

Happy New Year!
