Welcome to March WordCampers. Sorry we’ve been laying a little low lately. Things at WordCamp North Canton have been B.U.S.Y. but everything is moving along great. Our Call for Speakers is still open. So if you want to submit a session you’ve still got time to do so… but don’t wait too long we’re thinking of closing it on March 8th so that we can start putting together line up and get ready to start selling tickets.

Hmmm… you say you”re not much of a public speaker but know your WordPress? No problem! You can help in a gigantic way by volunteering to be one of our experts at the Happiness Bar! We would love for you to do that.

Wait. What? Your skill aren’t quite Happiness Bar-ish, but you still want to help. No Problem! You can be a Staff Volunteer. We’ll need help throughout the day with different things. Directing Campers to Breakout Sessions, helping with lunch… things like that. We’d love, love, love to have you!

We’ll be posting Sponsorship Opportunities in the next few days as well. If you’d like to sponsor WordCamp North Canton, we’re confident that we have a sponsorship level that’s right for you.

If any (or all) of this sounds like something you’d like to do, let us know!

There will be a Happiness Bar at WordCamp North Canton!

This just in campers! There will be a Happiness Bar at WordCamp North Canton. What’s a Happiness Bar you ask?

Happiness-Bar

The “Happiness Bar” is just like going to the “Genius Bar” offered by Apple as part of their in-store Tech support services. The bar is a table manned by knowledgeable volunteers in various forms of training and troubleshooting.

The Happiness Bar at WordCamp North Canton will be staffed by WordCamp North Canton Volunteers and Speakers. They’ll be there to solve all your burning WordPress questions. So be sure to make the most of the shared knowledge at the WordCamp North Canton Happiness Bar and get Happy!

Call for Speakers opens February 11th.

The planning committee decided at last night’s meeting, we should open up the Call for Speakers on February 11th. Yup. That’s next Monday. If you’d like to speak at WordCamp North Canton or know someone that would, be sure to come back here to submit your session idea. We know you’re excited… so are we, but you can’t do it just yet, come back on the 11th.
