WordPress
WordPress is the world’s most popular open source software for creating any kind of website, from a simple blog to a full-featured business or online store website. With WordPress it’s easy to build your website without writing a single line of code or knowing anything about HTML or design skills to create a professional looking site.
Every day, more than 50,000 WordPress.com websites are launched and WordPress is used to power over 59% of all websites using a Content Management System on the internet.
WordCamps
A WordCamp is a non-profit conference focused on all things WordPress and is relevant to everyone from new users to experienced developers, designers and everyone in between. It is not only a great place to learn from some of the most influential people in the WordPress community, but also to meet plenty of new and interesting people who share similar passions.
Aside from the huge learning opportunity, one of the primary benefits of attending WordCamp is the opportunity to mingle with industry professionals from all walks of life. The conference will be a lot of fun with plenty of time to hang out, get to know each other, and make valuable connections that will boost your business.
WordCamp Joburg 2016 is organised by members of the Gauteng WordPress community, the largest WordPress group in Africa and has received approval for the hosting of Johannesburg WordCamp 2016 on Nov 18-19, 2016 at the BON Hotel and Conference Centre in Midrand.
