GreenGeeks Web Hosting will be sponsoring WordCamp Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. It will be held November 10th – 11th, 2018 at the Medical Education & Training (MET) Building at the UNT Health Science Center, which is also The Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine.
This WordCamp will host a space for 2 days of WordPress awesomeness!
To ensure your ability to attend this year’s spectacular you will need to get your ticket quickly! One and two-day ticket options are available while they last. Get one before they’re gone.
Green Geeks has a booth at WordCamp Dallas. Myself (Chris Wales), Trey Gardner and Ericka Barboza of GreenGeeks are attending.
Please stop by the table, learn about us and grab one of our newest swag items: the Green Wapu, a GreenGeeks shirt and some eco-friendly hosting pins!
A few fun facts about Dallas, Texas and even more reason to attend this WordCamp:
- The integrated circuit computer chip, which became the microchip, was invented in Dallas at Texas Instruments in 1958 by Jack Kilby.
- During the winter holiday season, the Galleria Dallas is home to the country’s tallest indoor Christmas tree.
- The Dallas Public Library permanently displays one of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence, printed on July 4, 1776, as well as the First Folio of William Shakespeare’s “Comedies, Histories & Tragedies.”
