Up until recently I’d attended only four WordCamps in my time in the WordPress community. And although I generally enjoyed each one, I came away feeling that WordCamps weren’t that beneficial — for developers. A lot of the talks were aimed at non-developers (the WordPress community of course includes more than just us devs) and even the developer-focused talks I attended were often not advanced or substantial enough to feel that I gained anything from them.
Some of our developer team shared the same opinion after attending WordCamps in Miami and Vienna as part of our annual retreats and even deliberately organized the last two without a WordCamp to attend as a result.
However, after over two years of not attending a WordCamp, I recently made the trip to sunny Brighton in the UK, for this year’s WordCamp Brighton and had perhaps the most fulfilling WordCamp yet.
