URLs are the means we use to view and share content in WordPress. In this talk Darshan will talk about the URL architecture of WordPress. He’ll review the various permalink tags provided by WordPress and how to choose which ones to use. Finally we’ll look at different approaches to further customize these URLs to best match our content.

WordCamp Mumbai is great way to meet other local talent from in and around Mumbai, share your experiences and knowledge and most importantly it’s about bringing people with a common interest together. It’s one of the only conferences in the world where you’ll meet both hobbyists and professionals.
We understand that WordPress means different things for different people and this is your chance to learn a little bit about those other things. WordPress means the business of theme or plugin or website building for some. Some use it to create, share and promote to the world. While for others it’s a tool to build and foster a community. WordPress means code to some while it means moving away from coding to others. We’ve got all of you sorted while being a fun and casual learning experience.
In the end it is also about the people. I’ve personally made a ton of friends who’ve helped me in my personal and professional life. You’ll get to meet people from all walks of life, from different parts of India and from different parts of the world.
We know that you have a passion for WordPress – and we want to invite you to come share that with us. Book your tickets right now.

Vijay has built a bustling online community for the bipolar disorder afflicted in India. He’s (literally) written a book on his experiences on how he managed to break the stranglehold of stigma & isolation associated with bipolar disorder. This community has also led to him writing a fortnightly column on Mental Health on DNA Online.
In WordCamp Mumbai Vijay will talk about WordPress for Social Cause and his work on how he has guided people to medical professionals or has motivated them and made them believe in themselves and their ability to deal with the dreaded condition.

WordCamp Mumbai 2016 will have two full days of speakers sessions and discussions on 12th and 13th March 2016. The venue, Manik Sabhagriha Auditorium has seating capacity of 800, of which 550 are stall seats and 250 balcony; we are aiming at filling up the entire stall space i.e. about 550 participants.
Participants will include WordPress enthusiasts, Developers, Web Designers, bloggers and open source software supporters.
This is a great opportunity to support the WordPress community here in Mumbai. Sponsors enable us to have such a large venue, better facilities and most importantly create a great platform for educating ourselves on WordPress.
We have four different types of sponsorship slots. They are Gold, Silver, Bronze and Friends.
* Service Tax will be 14.5%
Along with these sponsorship slots, we are also open to “In-Kind Sponsorships” if someone wants to provide everyone attending with T-shirts, pens, notepads or as long as they are fair to every attendee. Sponsors can also make payments directly to vendors / or take up sponsoring a particular aspect of the event for e.g. Food Catering, WiFi, Video Recording and so on.
We will not be running any give away contests or lucky draws for our sponsors at the event. This may be obvious, but still worth mentioning that all Sponsors, if distributing WordPress-derivative work (Themes, Plugins or WP Distros) they should be under 100% GPL or compatible license like in WordPress.org.
If you are looking to sponsor, do fill in the form below and get in touch with us. We will close the “call for sponsors” once we reach our fundraising goal.
WordCamp Mumbai 2016 is over. Check out the next edition!
