WPCampus, the first WordPress event focused on using the platform in higher education takes place July 14-15 in Sarasota, FL. For those not able to attend in person, you can watch a free livestream of the event starting tomorrow morning at 9AM Eastern.
In August of 2015, Rachel Carden, one of the event’s primary organizers, published the following tweet.
Ooh. Dream with me: "#WordCampus: A WordCamp for folks using #WordPress in Higher Education." I like it. #heweb https://t.co/m1zEkpkP4B

What was once a dream is a day away from becoming reality. According to the attendees page, 60 educational institutions are being represented at the event. I asked Carden how it feels to see WPCampus come to fruition, “It’s surreal and amazing,” she said.
Be sure to check out the event’s schedule as there are three tracks of sessions. You can also follow along with others by monitoring the #WPCampus hashtag on Tagboard. Will you be watching the free livestream of WPCampus tomorrow?
I couldn’t afford the expense to travel to FL still this is the next best thing.
