Heading to BlogHer ’15? So are we!
If you’ll be at BlogHer’s annual conference in New York City this week, we’d love to say hello.
Note: we’ve just updated the workshop times slightly — see below for the final schedule.
BlogHer ’15, one of the biggest and best annual conferences for bloggers, lands in New York City later this week, from July 16th through the 18th. You’ll find hundreds of passionate bloggers, workshops to hone every aspect of your blogging, incredible keynote speakers like Ava DuVernay and Gwyneth Paltrow — and us!
At our Happiness Lounge in the expo hall, you’ll be able to get one-on-one help with your WordPress sites. Staff from across Automattic will also be leading mini-workshops on some of the topics you care most about, and our “WordPress Insiders” panels bring multiple WordPress.com staffers together for informal panels to give you a range of takes on everything from tools to traffic.
The WordPress.com booth hums with activity at BlogHer ’14.

Friday, July 17

I don’t believe BlogHer conferences do live streaming. If there are any broadcast options, you’d be able to find info here:

How do I find out about this event sooner next year (hoping you do it again). It would be a great thing for me and/or my husband to attend for our church.

Awesome! Wish I could go but I’ve got four other trips planned for the rest of the year. My hubby retires this week! A lot is happening! Perhaps the next one! In the meantime, I’ll keep reading and learning and perhaps I’ll even apply for a Happiness Engineer position soon! I’ve been thinking about that since January!

🙂 This sounds great! But I would love one of these conferences in Germany oder Austria. Any chance this will happen some time?
Thanks and enjoy the meeting in NY 🙂

BlogHer does mainly US events. But there are WordCamps all over the world, in both Germany in Austria — perhaps there’s one near you!

There are lots of events other than this one — try looking for a WordCamp in your area! They happen all over the world, and are pretty inexpensive ($20 a day, usually). The full schedule is here: https://central.wordcamp.org/
