In episode 55, we had a roundtable discussion of sorts centered around the various WordCamps we attended over the past two weekends. David Peralty and Jeremy Clarke discussed WordCamp Toronto, I talked about WordCamp Columbus and Brad Williams talked about his experience at WordCamp Mid-Atlantic. We discussed the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding our experiences. If you’re thinking about organizing a WordCamp event, be sure to tune in and take a listen as you might be able to pick up a thing or two to help improve your event.
