If you already know about WordCamp 2017 but you\u2019re still considering whether to go or not, these five reasons make it a must-attend event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Super cool casual conference<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Many people tend to associate \u201cconference\u201d with boring speeches and lectures. That\u2019s not WordCamp! WordCamp is a casual conference with cool people that make networking super fun. No professional suits. No long-lasting lectures that put you to sleep. No awkward moments when you try to network. WordCamp not only enhances your WordPress skills, but it also provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, which makes it easy to meet new people and geek out over web design and coding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. It\u2019s affordable\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 You can\u2019t beat a conference that has speakers around the world and from locally for $15 (NRs 1500\/-) for the weekend. That weekend ticket also includes some nice swag, lunch, snacks, and a t-shirt (assuming you grab a ticket in time). Not to mention the after parties and networking socials. Again, it\u2019s hard to find a tech conference with that price tag and that much value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Get your questions answered by real people at the Happiness Bar<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you will meet a community willing to help each other out, to teach, to debate, and or maybe just lend an ear. You will definitely get answers to your questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Network in a more casual, fun atmosphere<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 WordCamp atmospheres are relaxed, casual and welcoming to all regardless of skill-set or financial ability. There is no pepper them air in the atmosphere. We advise you get in your best comfortable attire and shoes because you will move around a lot, not an outfit that will make you praying the day goes by so fast because we promise you won\u2019t want the day to end that fast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Great For Users And Bloggers:<\/strong>\u00a0You don\u2019t have to be a developer, coder, or WordPress professional. You can be using WordPress for the first time, or just trying to figure out how to better your own business or website. You can find out how to use social media or content marketing to make your business better \u2013 and talk with people that have made it work for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>We could go on and on, but we think you get the idea.
