It’s an exciting time here in the Greater Phoenix WordPress community! We just had a WordCamp in October with 300 of y’all and we’re just 90 days from our next camp with multiple tracks and capacity for up to 600 campers!
On Friday, February 16 & Saturday, February 17, WordCamp Phoenix will be at at Galvanize Phoenix, a 90,000 square foot technology and education campus just a 15 minute walk from the heart of Downtown Phoenix (Check out our Instagram for a peek of what to expect).
We’ll be celebrating Saturday evening at a location to be announced.

The WordCamp Phoenix Team
Why the larger camp?
This roughly 40-50 percent more capacity than we’ve had in previous years! The demand is there — every year we sell out weeks ahead with gentle marketing and turn away dozens. We received 70 speaker submissions for 16 session slots in 2017 and have a large Meetup group with 2,200+ members. Plus according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Phoenix is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States — On average over 220 people moved to Maricopa County per day in 2016, more than any other county in the United States.
Downtown Phoenix is emerging as a technology hub. And it’s not only Phoenix — It’s Tempe, It’s East Mesa — it’s the whole Valley. Arizona’s tech sector is growing, with recent reports indicating thousands of open jobs at Phoenix-area technology companies.
Do we have any pricing estimates for this year’s event?
$40!
