Each year we attend, speak at, and sponsor numerous conferences and events happening in the interactive, blogging, design, and development communities. Over the past few months, you may recall recaps of our participation at Webstock (New Zealand), SXSW (USA), and Webcoast (Sweden). These are just a few of the many events on our 2014 calendar!
In addition to general tech events, we are also active participants in the many WordCamps which are organized year-round by local WordPress communities in all parts of the world.
With so many happenings on the schedule, we’ve created a handy calendar to better inform you of those in your neck of the woods. Our participation varies by event. It ranges from session speakers and keynotes to special event activities and our Happiness Bar, geared towards meeting users and lending support, and much more. As new events are locked in, we’ll be sure to add them to the calendar below (which can also be found at www.automattic.com/events).
It’s going to be a busy year full of some amazing events. We hope to catch you at one along the way!
WordPress.com News 
Aw – is there any chance you’ll be visiting Australia, or if any events will be held here anytime soon?
We will! We are planning two talks with Matt Mullenweg in Australia on June 12 & 16. More details will be added to the calendar in the coming days.
Is there any way to sort your calendar by location?
That would be amazing, but unfortunately that is not a feature offered in the calendar. The easiest way to find the location is to hover over the event of interest.
Come to the UK!
We’re actually sponsoring jQueryUK in Oxford next Friday, May 16. We’ll definitely be back in the UK for other events and WordCamps in the future!
So excited for WordCamp Israel coming up at the end of this month! Hoping to meet some new Happiness Engineers/Gardeners/Wranglers/Tinkerers/Ninjas there, as well as get reacquainted with some old ones. 🙂
I’m on the waiting list for WordCamp Asheville tickets. Got my fingers crossed!
I see there is a wordcamp in Orange County but it doesn’t say which state. I see there’s one in LA, which is the adjacent county to Orange in CA so I wouldn’t think you’d have two so close together. When I clicked on “more info” there wasn’t any. There’s and Orange county in at least eight US states.
Thanks for your feedback. I’ve updated the calendar with the location information. In this case it’s Orange County, California (taking place in Costa Mesa). You can visit the event website at http://2014.oc.wordcamp.org/.
Hopefully a visit to Canada sometime in the future?
There are three WordCamps coming up soon! We plan to have some WordPress.com folks in attendance and as speakers.
Calgary (June 14), Vancouver (July 26), and Toronto (November 15-16)
So excited for WordCamp Israel coming up at the end of this month!
Can’t wait for the Australian one then!
Roseglace asked to sort your calendar by location. Good request. I would suggest that you start each event title with the location, followed by the type of event. That way people don’t have to check every listing to see if there is something near them. The most I can see is is two letters of a location unless it spills over to a third day.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Asia? Maybe? 🙂
There are some events coming up in Asia next month – Seoul, Jakarta, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, and Manila. Hope there’s one near you!
Wow! I’m excited to hear that!
We want you to come to Australia! Specifically Perth. Please don’t over look us for Sydney and Melbourne.
I will look out for if you get close to Hilton Head Island.
I would like to volunteer my services as a motivational speaker at any and all of these WordCamps (except the technical ones.) I don’t ask for payment. If I can help others more fully appreciate the rich, blogging community I have come to love over the last 4 years, that would be enough for me. Plus all my expenses.
Seriously – call me.
Hi Peg!
Delighted to hear that you want to volunteer. The next step would be to apply to speak at a WordCamp near you. Here’s where you can find a listing of upcoming WordCamps: http://central.wordcamp.org/
I can’t believe you’re coming to Nicaragua! I’m making plans to go, last minute but no matter it will be worth it!
Oh, forgot to mention that if people are having trouble viewing the calendar locations just click on the Agenda tab and it puts everything in a very readable list 🙂
Brisbane Australia would be great for me (hint hint)
Another vote for listing by location. I’m in the Czech Republic, but am unlikely to flick through the entire calendar to see if you’re heading this way, esp. when you can’t check it easily!
Come to Indonesia please 🙂 I’ll be waiting..
Check out Jakarta WordPress Meetup with Matt Mullenweg on June 2nd 🙂
I want to attend . Hope WordPress conference comes to India soon.
It will be a brilliant idea to do so. If given an opportunity I would like to speak at it too. WordPress has given an opportunity for me to inspire lives positively. I am deeply grateful to WordPress.
Thanks.

Paul
