We doing something special this year!

We wanted to thank the people that come to WordCamp Miami year after year – ESPECIALLY those that buy a ticket before speakers and many details are announced.

We are opening batches of early bird tickets to the public.

Why You Want To Get a Ticket Now:

Reason #1: The earlier you buy a ticket, the more chances you have of winning a prize or gift from us (and our sponsors) during the event. This is particularly true during our closing remarks on May 31st, which we plan on giving out some great gifts thanks to our wonderful sponsors. As far as the math goes, if you are in the first of four groups then you are entered to automatically win for 100% of the prizes. If you’re in the second group, you are entered for 75%. Third: 50%. Fourth: 25%. You see how this goes?

Reason #2: We always sell out. Seriously. Always. Last year we had 770+ attendees and still a waiting list of 100+

Calling All Volunteers!

It’s a simple fact: Past WordCamps would not have been possible without volunteers. Since WordCamps are community driven non-profit events, the volunteers are a vital part of a successful event like ours. In 2014, over 770 people attended WordCamp Miami and if it wasn’t for the volunteers (not just quantity but QUALITY and DEDICATION) it never would have been called by others as one of the best run WordCamps they’ve been to.

For 2015, we plan to have another awesome event with close to 800 in attendances over multiple days. We cannot do this without your help and support… from those designing logos and signs… to helping with local venues… to those helping more during the event (crowd control, registration, etc.).

If you can think lend us support before or during the event – even for a few hours – please fill out this form so our WCMIA Volunteer coordinators can start gathering information.

We thank you in advance and look forward to another great year.
