I was successful in getting a WordCamp US Ticket on May 15, but these low cost tickets are now sold out. It is uncertain when another tranche of tickets ($50 for General Admission) might be made available – see further explanation here.
The conference will take place August 24-26, 2023 at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center at National Harbor, Maryland, and close to Washington D.C. The first two days are the main part of the conference, while the third is an optional “Contributors Day” where volunteers are encouraged to help contribute to development of the WP.ORG open source platform.
While the conference is still at are early planning stage with calls for both speakers and sponsors (including an invitation for Volunteers, which would allow you to obtain a ticket!), I expect that it will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about WordPress, with a variety of sessions covering both developer and design topics, as well as user case studies and options for community feedback and Q&A. WP Co-founder Matt Mullenweg also typically keynotes the event with his annual “State of the Word” with insights about the technical status and future plans for the WP.ORG. Lastly, there should be a “Happiness Bar” or help desk of pros to answer any questions about WordPress, as well as an Exhibitors area with WP add-on service and product vendors.
I attended in person the last, pre-pandemic national conference in St Louis in 2019, and the program was excellent! You might check out the format and sessions for the 2019 WordCamp US to get an idea of the shape of the 2023 event.
Hope to see some of you there! If past national conferences are a guide, there should be an option to view the event live on the Web, and eventually as recorded sessions on WordPressTV.
