Still looking for a single ticket!
Hi Nancy, check out the comments on the schedule announment post. Someone commented there that they have a ticket available.
Thanks! I missed that. I sent him a note.
Congrats on an amazing lineup. I’m looking forward to it!
Are the sessions something we sign up for ahead of time? Looks like a great day! Looking forward to it!
Jennifer, you can attend any sessions you like… no need to sign up or designate ahead of time.
I’m thinking about attending the 10:30 “Things We Learned The Hard Way” seminar. I am more than a WordPress beginner but not a pro. My question: who is the intended audience? Power users or dabblers like me? (Really looking forward to this day)
Susan, great question. Since it’s the middle track it will likely be for power users/designers and beginning developers more than casual users. I think Michael will be sharing some tips & tricks for those looking to become WordPress pros, sharing his experience as one. However, unless you’re interested in copyright info, I would recommend this talk over the other 2 in that time slot. I think you’ll still get a lot out of it.
Grant…in looking through these posts I realize how much I need both the Copyright and Michael’s class. You mentioned in a post that the sessions would be streamed (on the Registration page) so I was wondering if the video will be archived on WP.tv or available somewhere later. You had mentioned that it was going to be streamed live which I obviously can’t watch while I’m in a session : )
Cheers,
Ta
Ta,
Yes, the plan is to have the talks recorded and uploaded to WordPress.tv. Stuff can always go wrong, but that’s the plan!
