For the second straight year, WordCamp DFW will be held at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth on Nov. 10-11, the organizing team announced on Monday.
“Last year was received as such an overwhelming success in terms of the venue, speakers, and organizer it simply seemed silly to not try to capture that success again,” lead organizer Marc Gratch said. “Hopefully we can increase the number of folks that can make it out and shore up any aspects that didn’t shine quite as much as we’d like.”
WordCamp DFW, re-started in 2014, is one of 740 WordCamps held in the United States and around the world. WordCamps feature talks about everything WordPress, the free and open source personal publishing software that powers over 75 million sites on the web.
Talks range anywhere from blogging, to development with WordPress, to running a business with the content management system. Anyone, from beginners to veteran users who have been using WordPress for years, are welcome to learn more and share ideas.
Tickets for WordCamp DFW 2018 are currently on sale for $40 for two days. You can also purchase single-day tickets for $25. To apply to speak at WordCamp DFW, please fill out the application here. Topics can cover everything involving WordPress, such as web content strategy, user experience, diversity, blogging, business, development and community. Talks outside of the WordPress realm, such as project management and how the web has changed your life, are also welcome.
Located in the Medical Education & Training (MET) Building at 1000 Montgomery St, the UNT Health Science Center is situated near the growing 7th Street area and the museum district. It also hosts the monthly Fort Worth WordPress Users meetup.
“Last year our goal was to help the community at every opportunity we could find — from a beautiful venue that many local WordPresser’s have visited for the monthly meetup, powerful keynote speakers reminding us that we can make the world a better place and that we are often our own worst critics, donating all of the remaining food and snacks, providing free tickets to veterans, and hosting a can food drive,” Gratch said. “We know we can do all that again, I have so much confidence in this organizing team and the members of our great community.
“This year I want see if we can do more; bring in more food for the can food drive, inspire more people to get involved, teach more attendees, and change more lives.”

Where are there $40 tickets? I see $25 per day. Just wanting to make sure!
Hey Kyle,
They’re on the tickets page as the last set of tickets you can buy. They should be underneath the community sponsor tickets.
Thank you Jacob… I feel like an idiot. It’s clearly there! Buying now!
Well, I added the Saturday part after your comment. So you didn’t miss it. It just wasn’t there before.
