Welcome to KC’s WordPress Community!

WordCampKC is almost here! It will be located in the Plaza area at the Kauffman Foundation Conference Center, a wonderful building that houses the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation’s mission is to help individuals attain economic independence by advancing educational achievement and entrepreneurial success.

This year at WordCampKC, we will have the following tracks:

WordPress 101 & 201

This track will include a mix of tracks and panels that focus on the basics of WordPress. From choosing between .org or .com, content strategies, and working with themes or plugins… this is the place to get your questions answered.

Designer

This track will include design and development tips and tricks. Typography, theme customization, and which tools work the best will be discussed here.

Developer

This track will include heavy development work. Core contributions, how to get started making your own plugins, and an up close look at KCPT’s current modifications with WordPress.

Entrepreneur

This track will include discussions of how to manage multiple user workflows, eCommerce and other must know items for an entrepreneur.

Community Support Lounge

The Community Support Lounge is part of the event where volunteer experts hang around and help attendees with any questions they have. Get your WordPress questions answered, one-on-one, by some of the best experts around. Tricky configuration question? Plugins issues? Wanting to bring WordPress in your enterprise but wondering if it’ll fit in? Whatever the question, our friendly volunteers will make sure you leave the chat with solutions.
