THANK YOU

We’d like to thank the sponsors that help make WordCamp Chicago possible. We couldn’t keep ticket prices so reasonable without their generous support, so please visit them while you’re at camp!

Wow, that’s a lot of amazing support! Thanks to everyone.

After Party!

Nothing is better than a long day of sessions at WordCamp than meeting new and old friends and having a chance to network afterwards. We’ve got a great party planned for you! Food and drink will be provided, but be sure to bring your badge to get in. We found a great place near the venue.
