WOW! With our second WordCamp in Halifax under our belts, we are so happy that so many amazing people attended the event yesterday. What am amazing positive response that Crystal, Mike and I received from so many people yesterday. We’ll all be buzzing from the positive energy and new knowledge for days!
I’d like to send out another HUGE thanks to all the sponsors that helped make this event possible. Without your generous sponsorship, this event could not have been as amazing as it was. Many might not know it, but its through sponsorship that allows us to keep WordCamp tickets affordable!
Thank you sponsors!
