After a 3-year hiatus,\u00a0 WP Engine was ecstatic to sponsor and be involved in WordCamp ATX. This weekend, nearly 200 guests attended the event located at Fair Market<\/a>, adjacent to downtown Austin. The schedule consisted of 33 different speeches characterized by 3 different categories: Building a WP Site, Making a Living, and WP As A Solution.<\/p>\n

At WP Engine, we make it a priority to give back to the WordPress community so we were proud to have an integral role in the planning, organizing, and success of WCATX once again. In total, over the course of a year, WP Engine employees dedicated 628 hours of volunteering\u00a0for the planning of this event. We were also proud to have 4 speakers: Jason Cohen (CTO and Founder), David Vogelpohl (VP, Web Strategy), Shayda Torabi (Market Intelligence Manager), and Ben Moore (BI Developer).<\/p>\n

Ryan Hoover, a Software Developer at WP Engine was in charge WordCamp ATX this year, “I\u2019ve helped out at WordCamps in Austin and San Antonio before, but this was my first time organizing one. It\u2019s definitely been a labor of love. I was warned when I took on the role that it would be hundreds of hours of investment. That\u2019s \u00a0definitely true. But it\u2019s so rewarding hearing from people who went to their first WordCamp and can\u2019t wait to learn more about WordPress.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
