WordCamp Birmingham 2009 is on!

03.6.2009 by Andre Natta · View Comments

OK folks, It’s on; WordCamp Birmingham 2009 that is!

I’m happy to announce a bunch of things related to our second annual conference for WordPress users and bloggers of all ages, currently scheduled for Saturday, September 26. The first WordCamp Birmingham 2009 planning meeting will be next Thursday, March 12, at 11:30 a.m. at o kafés! in Pepper Place. Please let me (André) know if you’re interested in helping plan this year’s edition via email.

I’m also happy to confirm that our keynote speaker will be none other than WordPress’ founding developer (and all around nice guy) Matt Mullenweg, pictured here with his very own black Terminal T back in 2007. Nashville’s Mitch Canter of Studio Nashvegas has also agreed to come back and present.

Finally, we will be launching the WordCamp Birmingham site on The Terminal next Wednesday afternoon.

That’s all… for now.

You put on an excellent WordCamp last year. I’d love to come back again, maybe share some know how in designing custom WP themes, or cover more advances with WLW (& real in a sponsor$ maybe) or talk about migrating corporate sites to WP as a CMS which I’ve been doing a lot of lately too with 100+ page sites, drop down menus and more.

What’s funny is I’m wearing my Birmingham shirt today in Vietnam. (Watch for the pictures on my site.)
