Can Talk Really Be that “Cheep”?

Ask our Early Birds!!

WordCamp Albuquerque ticket sales are close to opening. Be one of our early birds and save on ticketing. More money in your pocket is always a good thing, especially after a weekend of invaluable and priceless WordPress sessions, lunch, networking, swag, and MORE.

What good does my ticket purchase do? Well, WordCamps are community organized events, meaning our Camp is organized by local businesses, our gracious sponsors, and YOU: our awesome, ticket-buying attendees. WordCamp tickets are the best deal in all the land.

Don’t be regular and let Early Bird Ticketing fly. Regular ticket pricing goes up the closer we get to WordCamp. Dumm-dumm-dummmm!

So it’s not THAT dramatic but seriously, who wants to pay more when they can pay less??Guarantee your spot from a limited number of tickets available for WordCamp, at a fraction of the cost! Share this post to let your network know about our ticket deal and they will love you for it.

#TBT Were You With Us?

Last August at WCABQ2012’s Meet and Great Reception, we hosted a Hackathon, starting the evening before WordCamp. The teams were revved up and ready to create, from scratch, websites for community applicant winners. With food and beverages on hand, nothing could stop these super WordPress enthusiasts from developing and designing with a smile. Throughout the weekend, and ending on Sunday, our Hackathon applicant winners were given a polished, useful, and professional website to support their causes- for FREE!

Will you be there to Meet, Greet, and Hack with us this year?
