Today we're discussing WordCamps with: Lucy Beer, Suzette Franck, Jon Brown, Verious Smith III, Cody Landefeld, Chris Lema, Steve Zehngut, Dre Armeda, Jeff Hester and our host Jason Tucker. WordCamps * Meeting people face to face and that awkward moment when you realize you aren't following someone you just met. * Networking and social aspects are key for these events. * Observing knowledge and learning, after attending a few events you tend to pick and choose the talks to want to see. * Hallway discussions are used more with the seasoned WordCampers. * Meeting in person makes it feel more like a community then just knowing people online. * Meetups are great for local networking, WordCamps bring in talented people from all over the country/world. * Dre speaks about WordCamp San Diego and how he brings in people that make his WordCamp a great event. * Intensive learning in 1 day is important to Suzette * Best sessions for Steve Z are the ones with more discussions occurring during the talk then just a present
