So you’ve just bought your ticket for WordCamp Montreal. Now what?
If this is your first WordCamp, you’re probably wondering how the day is going to flow. The weekend starts on Saturday at 8:15 am with you at the registration desk, picking up your badge and t-shirt.
After that, you can head over to the coffee station to get a little pick-me-up. Bring a mug and you can refill as much as you want!
Opening remarks are in the John Molson School of Business BMO amphitheater, which we’ve renamed the “Web Hosting Canada Theatre”. During the opening remarks, you’ll find out about what’s going on for the day, where the workshops are, and how to get on the WIFI. We have some surprises at the opening remarks, so don’t be late!
After that we’re going to have 3 sessions going on at the same time. To the more experienced WordCampers, they’ve been called “Tracks” but to us, they’re just sessions in rooms. We’ve color-coded and identified who the session would apply to.
A day or so before WordCamp, we suggest that you have another look at the schedule and pick out what talks you’ll be going to. You should do this on a device you’ll have with you cause you can favourite talks to build a custom schedule. You’re also gonna want to follow us on Twitter our handle @wordcampmtl and check out the event hashtag #wcmtl.
On the day of the camp, you’ll want to arrive early so you can start talking to people and learning what others are doing with WordPress. Throughout the day we’ll have an area set up where you can ask questions to professionals in the field who are volunteering time at the Happiness Bar. Have questions ready to go!
Don’t forget to wear good shoes and comfortable clothing. Also, business cards and a pen and paper wouldn’t be a bad idea too.
If you have any questions or concerns that need to be addressed throughout the day, there will be volunteers and organizers ready to help you.
Du plus loin que je me souvienne, j’ai toujours aimé l’informatique. J’avais une dizaine d’années et je lisais déjà des tutoriels en ligne sur le CSS et le HTML pour créer des sites internet sur les autos. Quelques années plus tard, à l’âge de 16 ans, j’enregistrais ma compagnie au nom d’INTEK PLUS. À ce moment, je faisais plutôt du support technique et de la réparation d’ordinateur. Au cégep, vers l’âge de 18 ans, j’ai commencé à m’intéresser à la programmation et j’ai par la suite été admis à l’université en Science informatique et Génie logiciel. Depuis, j’y ai d’ailleurs animé des démos à leurs locaux, dans le cadre de leur cours de web. Après les études, j’ai décidé de pousser ma compagnie un peu plus loin et après plusieurs années d’effort, j’ai maintenant 4 employés qui travaillent avec moi chez INTEK PLUS et la compagnie croit d’année en année.
