Yoast was born from the open-source community. The company was founded by a man who fell in love with WordPress. In the last couple of years Yoast grew enormously, thanks to the generosity of the community. By sponsoring WordCamps, contributing to the development of WordPress core and supporting other community efforts, we are giving back to the fantastic community that got us to where we are right now. So, that’s why we love to sponsor WordCamps.
Thank you to Yoast for being a WordCamp Albuquerque sponsor!
WordCamp Albuquerque will be the big WordPress event you don’t want to miss. You know this, but does your boss? Do you need help convincing your boss to send you to WordCamp Albuquerque? If the answer is yes, read on!
First of all, don’t be afraid of asking your boss to send you to an event. The worst that they can say is no. Approach your boss with enthusiasm, both for your job and for the event. Think about the reasons that you should attend WordCamp Albuquerque and address the issue head-on. Build your case and present it.
1. WORDCAMP ALBUQUERQUE IS UNIQUE
WordCamp Albuquerque is the biggest WordPress event in New Mexico and it is unique in that it brings together the best speakers in the WordPress community as well as speakers from outside to share their insights. WordCamp Albuquerque is a great value.
2. HOW WILL IT IMPROVE YOUR JOB?
Read through the schedule and identify those specific talks that you are planning to attend. WordCamp Albuquerque will have a broad range of talks so it’s helpful to highlight the ones that will help you to grow and develop.
It can also help to contextualize the talks you want to see in relation to projects that you are working on. For example:
this front-end development talk will help me learn how to effectively use React in my project
this talk on designing an eCommerce site for conversions will help me build up our company’s online store
3. WHAT WILL YOU BRING BACK TO THE COMPANY?
You should also think about what you can bring back to the company. Your boss has to think about the benefit to the overall company, as opposed to just your needs. Points that you can raise are:
that talks will help you when building current or future projects
that you will learn about new technologies that you can use in your projects
that you will find potential new hires for the company
that you will widen the company’s business network
that you will be able to talk about and promote a new product
that you will be able to find new collaborators and industry partners
Tailor your goals for the event to the current goals for your company. For example:
if your company is focusing on hiring, tell your boss that you will actively look for people to hire and set a goal for bringing five potential new hires to the company.
if your company is looking for a design partner, aim to speak to design agencies and bring back leads for your boss to follow up.
if your company is thinking of changing hosting providers, plan to talk to hosting representatives about what they can offer and report back.
TIPS
ask your boss for a list of contacts that they’d like you to meet
tailor your pitch to match your company’s goals
put together a budget so that your boss knows exactly what the costsinvolved will be

2) Who else works with WordPress around here?
WordCamp Albuquerque is a great place to meet other WordPress users in and around Albuquerque.
