Do you work in higher education and use WordPress at your institution?
The main event for the WPCampus community is our summer, in-person conference. It gives us a chance to come together (from all over the world) to learn, share ideas, network, and explore.
If you’d be willing to help plan and host an event, we’d love to bring our community to your campus. It’s a great opportunity to invest in higher education and education technology.
