WordCamp Minneapolis/St. Paul is back in swing – coming in just 4 short weeks, this August!
We’ve got a great line up of speakers this year, and we’re just finalizing our list of sponsors to be printed on signage, and promoted throughout the event.
We have room for a few more sponsor booths, but need to get sponsors on board by the end of this week in order to ensure logos will be printed on event signage.
We’re also seeking some specific sponsors to add value to the event – we’d love to bring on a snack sponsor ($1,500) – or if you have Audio/Visual talent, we’d love to bring you on board as an in-kind sponsor to help with filming at the event.
And this is a wrap! Following is the third, and final, round of speakers that we are excited to welcome to WordCamp Minneapolis/St. Paul this August!
Our speakers have prepared talks on many different subjects – ranging from design and development, to content and SEO, to business and humanity. We can’t wait to hear what they have to share with you! Grab your ticket to #WCMSP 2019 today!
Here we are – the second round of speakers at WordCamp Minneapolis/St. Paul 2019! Stay tuned for our full schedule, which will be announced within the coming weeks.

Learn to Woo!
Let’s face it, eCommerce is complicated. Even a platform like WooCommerce, which enables you to build anything you can dream up, can seem like a mountain to climb when you’re first getting started. In this workshop, we’ll walk you through setting up a WooCommerce store from scratch and discuss everything from third party integrations to creative uses of WooCommerce.
We’re excited to officially announce the Keynote Speaker and Talk for this year’s WordCamp Minneapolis/St. Paul!
Cami lives, works, and parents in the rainy city of Portland, Oregon. She’s had a love of WordPress and WordCamps since the last century, when she happened to stumble upon the first WordCamp Portland. Since 2013, she has worked at Automattic, as a community organizer for the WordPress open source project. In that role, she gets to work with WordCamps and their organizers from around the world, every day.
She continues to write on an irregular basis at camikaos.com where she explores concepts from the plight of modern parents to mental health to marveling at the seemingly mundane. Cami is active on a number of social platforms but can be most readily found as @camikaos on Twitter.
Collaboration and Communication: Success in Community and Business
Not everything is as it seems in the world of distributed work. Cami will draw upon her more than eight years of experience working remotely for multiple companies, including six years of acting as a community manager for a global project, to serve as your guide to unravel the myths and mysteries of leading collaboration across time zones. By comparing and contrasting the communication techniques and organizational structures for large remote teams and communities, she will reveal how we can better cultivate strategy and efficiency in our communities, and inclusivity and transparency within our businesses.
While contributing to the WordPress open source project Cami has picked up a thing or two about both leading and participating in remote teamwork. Let her share her favorite team-tested tools and platforms with you. Revel in her triumphs, laugh with her at her failures, and learn from the collective wisdom of other remote workers and WordPress contributors whom she’s met along the way.
WordCamp Minneapolis / St. Paul is schedule for August 22-24, 2019! The event will take place at the McNamara Alumni Center on the University of Minnesota campus.
