Countdown To WordCamp With Rocket55

This is a blog post from one of our sponsors. Be sure to visit all of our sponsors at the event and thank them for their support!

We’ve seen a lot of things change within the industry since Rocket55 began in 2007. Mobile responsiveness, interactive content, HTML5, and even completely wireless functionality were just ways to complete “Wouldn’t it be amazing if…” statements. Now, as we grow and advance, we are able to do some really cool things.

Rocket55 is quickly expanding, and as the departments within the agency grow, so do the areas and levels of expertise. Our team is collaborative, passionate, dedicated, and always looking for the next best way to improve online experiences – and WordPress enables us to do that.

At Rocket55 we love talking about all things digital – especially when we can talk about it with people who are as excited about it as we are. On Foundation Friday, our Development Manager Rich will be presenting during the Intro to Development. On Saturday and Sunday, feel free to stop by our booth! We will be providing website and service consultations, and we’ll have specialists from every department available to answer any questions you might have. You can also pick up some R55 swag, learn more about what we do, chat about the latest in web design and development, or talk about anything, really (SEO… cats… beer… Star Wars…) Hope to see you there!

How to RockIT at WordCamp

  • Don’t be afraid to talk to the speakers and ask questions. They are people just like you!
  • Don’t limit yourself to just one type of session. Sitting in on a session you don’t know much about can be fun!
  • Talk to people. Then talk to more people. And then find more people and talk to them.
  • Make sure to attend Saturday’s after-party – even if you’re flying solo. It’s a good time, and you’ll be welcomed whether you’re with a big group or not.
  • Don’t miss Sunday’s lectures! They’re often some of the best. Grab an XL coffee and get your butt there on Sunday.
  • To get your hands on the best swag of the weekend, make sure to check out the booths before lunch on Saturday. Or, stay for the last session and clean house at the end of the weekend.
  • Take a cue from some of the seasoned WordCampers and put all those sweet stickers on your laptop. But be sure to leave some space for next years!
