WordCamp US 2024 Kicks Off On September 17!

Hey there, WordPress fans!

I am checking in today to let you know that WordCamp US 2024 is about to kick off! (I shared a word or two about the event the previous week here.)

• The event starts on September 17 (Tuesday) with Contributor Day, which gives in-person attendees/contributors a chance to collaborate.
• September 18 (Wednesday) will bring the new Showcase Day, which highlights some of the biggest and best examples of WordPress sites, along with helping attendees understand how WordPress can scale even for large organizations.
• After that, there will be two days of talks on September 19 (Thursday) and September 20 (Friday).

If you’re already attending WordCamp US 2024 in person, you probably didn’t need this post (I hope, at least). If you did need this post, I would book those flight tickets right away, because you’re running out of time to get to Portland!

I’m still sharing this, though, because WordCamp US 2024 will also be livestreaming all of the talks online. So, even if you’re not attending the event in person, you can still follow along online and live vicariously through the streams.

👉 If you’re interested in checking out some of the talks, you can view the full schedule here.

To catch those live streams, head over to the WordPress YouTube channel – this link should take you directly to the streams (which are available in the Live tab). All of the streams are already scheduled on YouTube, so you can copy the links for the talks that you’re interested in now, instead of struggling to find the right link when the talk is about to start.

In the future, these videos will also be added to WordPress.tv (but the livestreams themselves will not be available on WordPress.tv).

That’s it for this news update! But once the event concludes, I’ll be back to share some of the best recaps and summaries of the event.
