At WordCamp US this year, in addition to our “regular” presenters and workshops, we are creating a track that is focused on the WordPress Community.
There will be four areas that the Community Track will touch on this year:
- Meetups
- WordCamps
- Diversity / Inclusion
- Kids / Youth
Today’s post is all about the future. Don’t underestimate the power, passion, and skills that the next generation has to offer to the WordPress Community. We will be having two sessions that are all about bringing youth to the table, and what they in turn bring to that table.
Speaking of kids, don’t forge that this year we are offering both a KidsCamp and free childcare at WordCamp US.
How to Organize Events for Youths
Format: Workshop
Preliminary Description:

Full List of presenters still being finalized.
