Back to WordCampBirmingham
WordCamp Birmingham is an informal gathering of WordPress users where we teach, learn, eat, drink and generally have fun with one another. This would be the first WordCamp in the Southeastern United States; it's being held in conjunction with the first ever South by Deep South (SxDS) conference and will be occurring at the same time as the 10th annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival and the opening of a one of a kind exhibit of the work of Leonardo da Vinci in late September.
