#WCSTL is Over, but the Fun doesn’t Have to Stop!

Thank you to all our Volunteers, Speakers, Sponsors, Organizers and especially you, the attendees, for coming out and making this year’s WordCamp St. Louis one to remember! There were plenty of great talks and discussions being had throughout the two days but it doesn’t have to stop there. St. Louis has a large and helpful community that holds meetups, shares their knowledge, and provides help year round. If you missed a talk this year, want more information on a certain topic, or just want to talk shop with local WordPress-ers there’s a few places to scratch that itch:

Come Celebrate WordPress’ Anniversary With Us!

WordPress will be 15 years old May 27th, 2018! On Monday, June 4th we’ll be having our meetup from 6:30p.m. to 8:30p.m. at OPO Startups on Historic Main Street in St. Charles. Instead of sitting and listening to a presentation, we’re going to celebrate 15 years of WordPress!

You’re invited! We’re providing a cake and some light refreshments, but we encourage you to bring a snack to share with the group! There will also be special 15th anniversary swag available during the event. We’ll also be sharing our party photos and love for WordPress with the rest of the world via the hashtag #wp15.

Don’t forget to spread the word, let’s make this WordPress birthday memorable. Please RSVP soon, so we can ensure we have enough refreshments to go around. Join us for our #wp15 Celebration!
