WordCamp Seattle is doing something similar for 2015. The past few years, WordCamp Seattle has been a big event - nearly 700 people last year. But we have found that even when you have a big event, making it work for a wide range of experience levels is really hard. So in 2015, we're going to do two smaller events for around 350 people: the first one (March 28) is going to be for experienced users, designers, and developers, and the second one (October) is going to be for beginners.
