wordcampuk-2009
MMUBS was selected for WordCamp UK 2010 following a bidding process, at which a number of potential venues were considered.
Tony Scott, WordCamp UK Organising Coordinator, said: “From the options available, MMUBS was the clear winner following the bidding process.”
“The modern conference facilities offered, the flexibility shown by the MMUBS team in making detailed arrangements, along with availability of competitively priced campus accommodation, were the clinching factors.”
“We’re looking forward to a productive, educational and enjoyable weekend in Manchester”.
In 2008 WordCamp UK attracted 120 attendees, in 2009 that grew to 150, and this year they are aiming to attract 200, reflecting the increased level of interest in WordPress over the past year.
The weekend covers all the sectors that use WordPress: from individual bloggers to large companies.
David Edmundson-Bird, Director of Executive Programmes at MMUBS said, “We are proud to support WordCamp UK 2010 as a Gold sponsor. With WordPress’s soaring popularity and our specialism in digital marketing and publishing we look forward to collaborating with WordCamp’s delegates, from web publishers to designers and developers.”
Chi-chi Ekweozor, founder of Manchester-based Internet TV and social media consultancy, Real Fresh TV, who proposed and wrote the winning city bid for WordCamp UK 2010 added: “I attended my first WordCamp UK in 2009 and was blown away by the friendliness of UK WordPress community.”
“By the end of the conference, I had met Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, cofounders of WordPress and a senior member of Google’s Search Quality team in Ireland! The quality of speakers at WordCamp UK events illustrate how much admiration and respect there is for WordPress in the online publishing sector.”
WordCamp will be held on the weekend of 17-18 July 2010, with tickets available from April, more details: http://uk.wordcamp.org/
