Click here to buy your weekend tickets!
These are tickets that you can purchase in advance BEFORE we start announcing the bulk of confirmed speakers. There are two rounds of early bird tickets – the first round of tickets are $35, the second round tickets are $40. Tickets in both rounds otherwise are exactly the same.
WordCamp Miami eventually sells out, so grabbing a weekend ticket ensures you a spot at the conference for the weekend – which means you get the great food, talks, networking, and swag – guaranteed!
The first batch of EARLY BIRD TICKETS are locked in at $35… regardless if the price goes up for regular tickets. You might be getting the cheapest tickets for the weekend.
As in previous years, WordCamp Miami gives a small reward for early bird ticket holders. In the past, we’ve entered “early birders” in contests and offered giveaways. This year – well, we’re keeping a lid on this information at the moment. 😊
Legal: Since WCMIA is a volunteer based non-profit event, any prizes or rewards may vary depending on final budget. Also organizers and sponsors are not eligible for any prizes, even if they are an early bird ticket holder. We will release information by March 14th – you must be present at the event to receive any goodies, prizes, gifts, etc. WCMIA reserves the right to change or update conditions at any time.
Our workshop tickets for Friday March 16th 2018 will be released soon. You don’t have to wait for these workshop tickets to purchase your early bird weekend tickets. We are not offering student or teacher discounts for early bird tickets. If you are selected as a speaker and purchase an early bird ticket – don’t worry… we will refund your ticket.

We are searching for speakers that may never have considered WordCamp Miami before. They don’t have to be experts on WordPress – just be able to talk about what they know. We want to spread the word and invite everyone to WordCamp Miami in March 16-18 so please help us spread the word!
This “reverse” call for speakers remains open until December 4th, 2017.
WordCamps are famous for their excellent coverage of WordPress and related ideas and technologies. But sometimes it’s very useful for the growing WordPress community in any area (but particularly in South Florida) to get some outside perspective. You won’t want to be in an echo chamber as they say – there is a time and place to hear certain viewpoints from OTHER communities.
These are we call “outside the bubble” talks.
In the past couple of years WordCamp Miami has made an effort to reach out to those outside of the WordPress “bubble”. One of our first “non-WP CMS” speakers: Jason Nickerson give a talk on How Joomla and WordPress Influence Each Other. We had additional speakers come in 2016 and 2017. For our 10th event we would love to see speaker submissions from other non-WP communities that our attendees would appreciate and relate to.
Since WordCamps do not usually compensate speakers for travel, we would expect possible speakers to be from the South or Central Florida area, but location really is not a factor. If you’ve never been to a WordCamp before, you might have questions which we are happy to answer.

We are extending an official invite to any dedicated Drupal and/or Joomla developers to come to WordCamp Miami and be a part of South Florida’s open source community. Not only are we making an official invite, but we have several (read: very limited quantity) of discounted tickets to any established contributors of the Drupal or Joomla project.
So if you are not a WordPress developer, but work with another open-source solution like Drupal or Joomla, please submit a speaker application. If you have questions, contact miami@wordcamp.org.
But no matter what you develop in – then we would love to have you at one of the biggest local web conferences in Miami and one of the largest WordCamps in the United States.
With our dates officially announced (March 16-18, 2018), we are opening up our call for speakers.
All the information you need to know – including the link to submit a speaker proposal – is located here.
But before you rush to submit, keep reading…
We are making some changes to some tracks and workshops, and introducing new formats for sessions. Please read the submissions page carefully. Also read this insight into what changes we are making in our session tracks this year. For our 10th anniversary we are making some schedule changes!
Returning Speakers? Great. New Speakers? Even better.
We welcome back anyone who has attended and spoken at WordCamp Miami in the past – repeat speakers welcome! On the other hand, we are looking especially for those who might not have spoken at WordCamp Miami before – or perhaps those wanting to make WordCamp Miami their first speaking conference!
Deadline is Midnight EST on Friday December 8th, 2018.
We have great news regarding our ten WordCamp Miami – it will be held at FIU on March 16-18, 2018. We are also proud to confirm that David Bisset will be stepping up as our lead coordinator this year!
We have been in the early staging of planning for the past month, and we can’t wait to share with you what we’ve got planned. Some ideas, concepts, and workshops from previous years are being carried over but also several fresh new concepts as well.
If you don’t want to wait and book travel way in advance (at least in WordCamp terms) you may already begin by looking at the hotels (we are updating this soon with additional information and possible conference related discounts).
Our call for volunteers, sponsors, and speakers will happen shortly so watch for those announcements. Here’s the best ways to keep updated:
