The very first WordCamp Europe took place this last weekend in Leiden, The Netherlands, with over 700 WordPress fans in attendance. From all reports it seems to have been a resounding success. This was the first large-scale WordCamp to be held in Europe. It included two days of world-class speakers from all of the world and one day dedicated to contributing to WordPress. Many attendees reported that it was the best WordCamp they have ever attended.
For those of us who weren’t able to attend, you probably noticed your Twitter stream full of the #wceu hashtag, with photos and updates offering a window into all the activities surrounding WordCamp Europe. “Armchair WordCampers” could follow the event via the wceu.wparmchair.com website, created by David Bisset. The site captured 1200+ photos and 3700+ tweets from WordCamp Europe, using the #wceu hashtag.
If you are at home wishing you could have attended all of the awesome sessions, the next best thing is getting your hands on the speakers’ slides. We’ve selected a few of the fantastic presentations that were given this past weekend and have posted them here.

Mental note though bring a decent zoom lens the next time the venue was kinda huge :D
Thanks for posting the slides all in the one place as well I was kinda torn on which talks to attend at times ended up mostly going to the more commercial talks as opposed to the developer talks.
