10 Tickets for Charity

By admin | Published: August 14, 2009

I have reserved 10 full day tickets for local BC Charities to attend WordCamp Fraser Valley.

If you are a charity or know of a charity that would benefit from learning about WordPress then please contact us ASAP as it will be given to those 10 charities that  respond first.

The Union Gospel Mission is a great example of a charity that uses WordPress to blog and increase pledges to their charities.

These tickets will only be given out to 10 people from different organizations. 1 per organization. You should be a BC recognized charity.

sfusurreyGet out your tents and sleeping bags we have found a spot to hold our camp.

They won’t let us make s’mores but there will be lots of opportunity for learning and networking with fellow WordPress users.

It is now confirmed that we will be setting up camp at SFU in Surrey.

SFU’s Surrey campus is a 30,000 square-metre architectural masterpiece located at Central City in Surrey.  The building, designed by acclaimed architect Bing Thom, has won numerous national and international awards.

SFU Surrey is adjacent to the Surrey Central SkyTrain station and transit bus loop making it very easy to access WordCamp this year from any location.

You can download a map to the event location.

Have any questions about the location? Post a comment or catch me on twitter.
