Comin&#8217; to you from\u00a0 Milwaukee, Wisconsin! The site is live and ready for action. WordCamp Milwaukee will be taking place on September 17 &amp; 18 this year and we&#8217;re really excited!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Over the next few days we&#8217;ll be putting more details, but I wanted to take just a moment to thank a couple of people before things REALLY get busy. As you might have noticed, the theme this year is a 50s Milwaukee. We thought it would be fun to pay tribute to the old TV shows like Happy Days and LaVerne &amp; Shirley, two iconic shows from just a few years ago. The site was put together on pretty short order by Jamie Schmid, a displaced Milwaukee native, and Emma Edgar from Tuna Traffic. They took the concept and knocked it out of the park. There are still a few details that need to be wrapped up but we wanted to get the functionality live right away (one of those things designers hate, as I understand). So, THANK YOU Jamie and Emma for the hard work.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few things to add: The <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.milwaukee.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Call to Speakers<\/strong><\/a> is open. If you are interested in presenting, please be sure to get your application in by <strong>August 22<\/strong>. We&#8217;re interested in all topics related to WordPress, or Business &amp; Marketing in general.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in helping the organizing committee, or volunteering on WordCamp weekend, <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.milwaukee.wordcamp.org\/volunteers\/\" target=\"_blank\">check this page out<\/a> and register.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.milwaukee.wordcamp.org\/tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\">available here<\/a>. $40.00 for the weekends gets you two full days of filling your head with important information, lots of socializing and networking opportunities and the after party. It&#8217;s a steal at twice the price!<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, if you are interested in sponsoring WordCamp Milwaukee, <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.milwaukee.wordcamp.org\/sponsors\/\" target=\"_blank\">check this out<\/a>. WordCamps would not happen if it wasn&#8217;t for sponsors. Ok &#8211; they might, but the tickets would be a lot more expensive. We&#8217;ll give you table space and all sorts of other perks to go with it (like lots of recognition and gratitude, and who in their right mind wouldn&#8217;t want to turn that down?).<\/p>\n<p>Lastly lastly, if you run into any problems, let us know! Shoot us an email and we&#8217;ll get you squared away, right away, daddy-o!<\/p>\n<p>So, without further adieu, LET&#8217;S GET THIS THING STARTED!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heyyyyyyy!!!
