A mere $40 got me two days worth of learning of all things Word Press at the extraordinary Word Camp Montreal. I’m already done one day, can’t wait for tomorrow. (Yes, I am doing this for fun.)
Here’s how I could tell that this was not your typical PMI* or corporate event.
- No suits or ties. Lots of flip-flops, converse shoes, tattoos and body-piercing.
- Did I mention the men walking around with their babies? (This is, after all, Montréal.)
- I was one of the oldest people in the room. (No, I am not that old.)
- They gave out a Twitter hash tag at the beginning of the event. (I am on Twitter…but are you?)
- Besides WordPress (of course), we talked about Facebook, Twitter, SEO and Google Analytics all day. (Are you still afraid to open a Facebook account?)
And I learned so much, in one day, that my head exploded. Fortunately, I was able to put it back together again for tomorrow.
Learning is always a good thing.
As for getting out of your comfort zone? A much better thing.
* PMI = Project Management International. No tattoos or body-piercing at our events. Most definitely not.
