I just added some details to one of our event’s evergreen* pages, Location.
The last time I dropped my brother off at the Lancaster station, he said, “Oh, I forgot how cool your train station is.” This didn’t make sense to me because I don’t travel as much as he does, and everything is beautiful here in one of our country’s oldest small cities.
I updated our location and travel page to note that rides from Penn Station, New York City to Lancaster are three hours and a little less than $65†, with stops in and around Philadelphia. But you should also know the station was built in 1929, and looks like this:
In 2018, Lancaster was the second-busiest Amtrak station in Pennsylvania behind Philadelphia’s 30th street station.
* Evergreen content never loses its relevance. WordCamp Lancaster gets a new website each year, but we copy pages like Location and bring them along for the ride.
† Sixty-five dollars is much more than our ticket price of just $25, which includes lunch. Tickets are on sale now.
WordCamp Lancaster is a not-for-profit conference celebrating its seventh year. Our speakers, volunteers, and staff all donate their time to make an event that is as engaging and accessible as possible to anyone who wishes to participate.
Lancaster is unique in that we have a very passionate, growing community of technology professionals, and have seen consistent growth year after year. WordCamp Lancaster is frequently attended not only by locals, but by WordPress professionals and enthusiasts from all over, most notably the regional Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and New York WordPress communities.
Sponsoring a WordCamp is an incredible way to contribute to the WordPress community and meet developers, designers, and users from near and afar.
Similar technology conferences cost hundreds of dollars to attend, but WordCamp Lancaster costs less than dinner for two. To keep ticket prices low, we work with generous sponsors to participate in our event, and WordCamp attendees appreciate that sponsor contributions help strengthen our community, and make the event possible.
Have something in mind for swag, or a special idea to engage attendees? We’d love to hear from you. Please inquire below. All sponsors and the products they promote must adhere to our code of conduct and the GPL.
Thanks for applying! The submission deadline has passed, and our schedule will be released soon.
We would love for you to speak at WordCamp Lancaster 2020, a one-day conference for WordPress enthusiasts on March 14th in Lancaster Pennsylvania.
Speaker sessions make up the bulk of the conference, and are typically 30 minutes each. Please propose multiple talks, we do not enjoy passing on a speaker because a talk is too similar to another on the schedule. To submit multiple talks, please fill out this form multiple times, once for each talk.
Just do it! We’d love to be the first event at which you give a talk. The first handful of rows in both our rooms have table tops; we welcome your workshop proposal and any talk that would also work well at our monthly meetup.
Speaker applications will be collected on this page until midnight on January 18th. We will announce our selections the week of January 20th, and we will ask that all speakers submit slides no later than two weeks before the event on March 14th. All speakers and their talks must adhere to our code of conduct and the GPL.
