Watch WordCamp Videos Online

I have been to every WordCamp in India since Oct 2012, that’s a total of about eight WordCamps – four of which were in Mumbai (Proud to be an organizer in three of them). And when you spend so much time at WordCamps you tend to know what to expect at a WordCamp – the fun, the networking and most importantly the learning.

But the downside of this, especially when we fill the shoes of an Organizer is that we become ignorant to the needs of those who are just discovering WordCamps for the first time. Many have asked us what should they expect at WordCamp Mumbai 2016.

So here’s the first of a series of post which would help explain what to expect at WordCamp Mumbai 2016.

As I don’t really believe in keeping the best for the last, I’ll start with speaker sessions. We just announced about a third of the speakers at this year’s WordCamp but they and the other dozen yet to be announced will be as good as the speakers at previous WordCamps.

So here’s a few places where you can watch previous WordCamp videos.

Now that you know what to expect… Go ahead Register for WordCamp Mumbai 2016

Look who’s attending #WCMumbai

Curiosity is part of human nature and when ever I attend an event, I wonder who I would meet there. So for WordCamp Mumbai we made it a little easier.

We took our ticketing live a couple of days back and we also put up a page showing attendees. This page lists registered attendees with their websites and twitter profiles (if they shared those details). This will help you plan ahead who you’d like to meet with at the WordCamp and may be reach out to them on twitter or through their website.

attendees page

We also plan on selling tickets at our next meetup, for those who can’t make online payments.

For those who don’t really like the idea on being shown on the attendee page, yes we have a way of hiding you, so do let us know if you’d like to not be shown on the attendee page.
