WordCamp rocks NOLA

I’m taking a quick moment this morning to reflect on everything that happened, and everyone we met at WordCamp NOLA this weekend. I wasn’t able to be there on Saturday because of family commitments, but Friday was a really stellar day and I heard the same about Saturday.

I want to thank John Ramirez and Computer CC for all the hard work they put into WordCamp. John has worked tirelessly for the last 8 months to put this together, and everything at the conference was first class. They really worked hard on and went the extra mile to make the conference as professional as possible.

Thanks to all the speakers who gave their time and in some cases traveled to New Orleans to be a part of this. But most of all, thank you to all the folks who came out and participated, you made this what it was!

There was very positive feedback on Twitter. @lizmoney said:
